Honey I blew up the mini lathe speed control board

Hi Irving,

Thanks for the offer - there's some relatively hard to source electronics bits & bobs stuff I've been waiting to get from Cricklewood...so I might as well bite the bullet & get ordering from them & lob in a couple of 78l08s too - they've no minimum order, but £3 P&P (not bad & saves me having to drive over there!)

Thanks for the basic outline diagram too.

Re getting my finger too close to the 'big wiggly amps' - yep, lots of high voltages on this board, but not overly worried (originally trained in fixing valve based radar kit by the RAF many moons ago...I've had -500V DC across me a few times while stooping in a darkened ops room fixing radar consoles ...enough to be careful nowadays!)
