I have a Record Power BDS150 which I bought second hand last year but I've only used it a handful of times due to being busy with a recent house move.
It has worked normally previously but I tried it today and the motor is making a noise like something is braking it and the belt and disc are not turning. It may have got a slight knock in a recent workshop re-org.
I've read a few posts on machine starting issues and the most common culprit seems to be the capacitor. I have looked at the capacitor on my sander and it look fine - no physical signs of any problem. Could it be the bushes?
Thanks.
Steve.
