Aye, so many once good quality, aussie name brands that we all once could trust, have gone by the wayside. A lot of the time, the crux of faults with this kind of stuff, boils down to the fact they don't differentiate between 220VAC and 240VAC, and the components (being what they are) are right on their upper operating envelope = more heat == shorter life. You see this with bigclivedotcom on YT ... he's forever showing how to modify driver circuits for LED lamps for instance, to literally double their lifespan 'coz LEDs really do not like heat.
From the YT vid OP linked earlier....
That would have to be one of the loosest, sloppily wound stator assemblies I've ever seen...I'm even questioning if there's the same number of turns on every former pole. I also see the possibility for a trained monkey to get the hard wiring wrong.
Fark me that's ugly.... hey VroomVroom ~ check that riveting job out, trying to hold a multi-layer stator pole together 8)
I was starting to wonder 'where would one begin?' ...looking closely at this, it's less of a quandary 8)
