Hurrah! The machine lives again! Tested as described above. No resistance in the thermal cutoff circuit. Wired in series with main wiring, turns on, runs, lovely!

What an awesome series of replies. Super impressed with how you guys are on it so quickly, and have offered an absolute wealth of information way over and above what Axminster offered. I’ll try wiring it without the protection circuit just to get it running, and then I’ll try the protection...
