Mr Electric has decided as it's a nice sunny day in the conservatory, he'll start working on this machine.
So the electrical parts are now separated from the mechanical parts, and taken out of the case.
We think the black 'slime' is the remains of the rubber grommet that was around the wire as it ran through the hole in the metal plate (tool box lid)
Apparently the carbon brushes are in good condition (missed that with the camera) but whether the motor runs, or the knee mechanism is safe are as yet unknown. I leave all that magic to Mr
but I'll let you know . . .
