Bacon slicer advice needed

[AllAlloyCup]

Thanks folks For all the helpful
ideas. I was hoping that someone else had had a similar
problem that might throw light on what’s going on.

I’ll have a look at the brush gear to see if that’s been miswired previously.

In extremis I’ll consult a local auto electrician.

I’m loathe to ship it to someone as it’s so bulky and heavy.

Regards

Ps I do have a working starting handle so perhaps I should prioritise
the dynamo issues!!
