Ripley's TnA (Talk n Action) Repair Thread

[ripley802]

Hey ripley, can you show a photo of the components? I can't imagine why a transistor would sit across the motor terminals unless it is to control speed? Some engines (like my old James) had little capacitors from each terminal to the motor body, and between the terminals, which is used to give the motor an easier life when power is switched off and on,

Thanks Tramp. I removed the bits from the one I had out of the motor chassis, and managed to lose the components in my workbench mess. Here is one that doesn't have the resistor pieces attached but has the transistor thing attached. The other pic is of one still attached which has the resistor on both the positive and negative sides.
