Michael please see my earlier post to Kevin, also in the midlands like yourself. Having said all of that, a ST1200 can probably be replaced for less than the price of the courier each way plus the repair bill. It all depends on whether you feel you have a really good example of the model or not I guess.

Hello Michael, Perhaps I can help you, I live very close to you. If you have no mechanical knowledge at all, I can have a look for you. It may be something simple.

We are running two threads on the same problem?

Paul's a great guy, if I was in Michael's position, I'd jump at this generous offer. [Smile]

I have a 1200, given to me by derann, many moons ago, non working, but maybe there's something on there that could be transferred, he's just few miles from me, I carn't see a reason why I wouldn't help a fellow member, regardless of how near or far he is, that's what the forum is for. You many miles from us Steve, but your only a couple of clicks away, Andrews a lot closer, but the same applies, he knows that.

Three threads about the same subject is a bit too much. For continuity's sake this will continue here..
