HI - new to this website. I posted elsewhere, but repeat my post here in case any one can assist.

I purchased an unused machine secondhand (the guy died before using this, and his estate simply wanted to sell it on). Well, on getting this home, it worked fabulously for about ten LPs, then power failed. I'd treated the machine with the utmost care, drained the excess fluid etc.

I discovered that the onboard fuse had blown, since replaced. The main fuse in the plug was also replaced, though had not blown. But both switches (vacuum motor, and platter) still fail to switch on. What, I ask, could cause both to fail? 

Dear Secret-vinyl, Since your question has nothing to do with this thread, it behooves you to start your own thread.  And that will benefit you as well, because more people will see your question.  If you do so, you might consider providing much more detail, like, to begin with what "machine" are you talking about? No harm done, and no worries.
