content: Yeah; that makes no sense at all.Use theoriginal thread.Spreading content out randomly across three threads isn't going to make it any more likely that you'll get good answers...

content: Sorry to hear that. Hopefully better days are ahead.Consider bookmarking the original thread to make it easier to find.You can also look for your own posts at this URL:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/profile/?area=showposts. (I think that will give everyone their own posts.)https://www.eevblog.com/forum/profile/?area=showposts;u=503931(that will definitely list @fixit7's posts.)

content: Please trim all of that white-space from the images and upload them over here, on this forum, rather than an external hosting site.Where did you get the new cord from? The wires should be colour coded. Are there different colours, under the outer sheath? The middle appears to be green, which should go to the grinder's frame. Check it's connected to the ground pin of the mains plug, using the continuity tester on a multimeter.You really should use the correct crimps and crimping tool to connect the wires to the grinder.

content: Quote from: MarkF on July 03, 2019, 02:16:39 pmI can see your point, but posting in all capitals like that was an a-hole-ish thing to do. People can post in whatever thread they like. You have no authority here.

content: Quote from: Zero999 on July 03, 2019, 03:08:59 pmI posted in all caps so it would stand out.I claim no authority here!Maybe you would prefer a bold font or a large font or a different color to contrast it from the conversation?

content: Bold would have sounded less rude. All capitals is generally considered to be bad etiquette.
