Well the new cover arrived today. Thanks To Tim for such good service. As soon as it was in my hands it was on the lathe. Did a little re wiring of the shop to bring the 220 to the lathe and that is when the disapointment hit me. The display screen was not working with the new voltage. For those not familiar with the DVRXP it is a direct drive lathe that is circuit board controled and it has a variable speed controls on a display screen. It has 5 pre set speeds and then you can scroll through the speeds from 100 rpm up to 3500 rpm. It normally displays all the time as you go. Well this one wasn't. It would if you stopped it but as soon as you touched it to increase or decrease the speed it would go blank. Once stopped and started again it would display for a second or two and then go blank again. The lathe would increase or decrease in speed but the display wouldn't show it. I ended up putting the old circuit board back in as it at least displays properly. So back on the phone with Tim again tomorrow. Argggg
