Bridgeport Tabble drive

Sep 24, 2013 2 Replies

Hi Guys,



My friends Bridgeport table drive has packed up. Blows a 10amp fuse. It is the British one with the Erskine thyristor board. I have found that one of the power diodes is short circuit, but I am wondering if any thing else has blown. I see from earlier postings that other people have also had problems with this unit but I have been unable to find a link to a circuit diagram. Has any one got one please or any experience what else might have blown?

Presumably you have checked the other diodes? I'd check that the thyristor is not SC too.

Replying to my own post:

On further investigation I couldn't find anything else wrong so I replaced the 10Amp diode and my friend is now a happy man.

I never managed to find a schematic though. :-(
