OK, tx Jan,

but I guess the one Tormek sended me couldn't do any harm, or would you suggest to look further for the same model for the future?

Well...

the problem seemed a bit more serious, as the metal pin coming from the motor was practically not spinning when pushing against the stone.

After mailing with Pontus Gyllby from Tormek, explaining my problem, he suggested to send me a 'similar' capacitor, one they had in stock. What a great service for a 2-3-4nd hand Tormek from '85. Needed some time to find my soldering iron, but it did the trick!

what a great service! I got the impression the stone is spinning (much) faster than before (it was not identically the same capacitor), could that be a problem?

tx guys, thank you so much Tormek after Sales...

Hey guys, found the solution for the problem on my machine in the tormek handbook,

the motor was running but slipping on the black rubber of the honing wheel, sandpaper did the trick...

OK tx Ken,

I feel honoured to be the only one on a vintage Tormek, I guess I deserve a price, no? ;-)

hey guys, today, after working for an hour (stopped regularly) on the machine, it suddenly stopped spinning, is it possible I burned the machine? I'm not a technical dude at all ;-)

or will it get back to life after cooling down? I noticed some rubber tear down inside the honing wheel, dunno if this was there or new....

Hi,

the stone on it (when I purchased it, is a SG-250) is that a natural stone, or rather after sales?

what do you mean by 'The horizontal base and supportbar was mounted some years after it was first bought.'

was this a standard upgrade or rather DIY ?

I guess adding a leather honing wheel is possible?

tx!

Hey Thanks Stig!

Tx Ken!
