Re: (ET) Seem to have lost speed 3 on New Idea 150



 Dean,
 The EGT150 should have seven forward speeds. The schematic for the E16 is 
OK for the EGT150 as well as the late E15 (HA-JA versions).
 My guess is that your 2A contactor went Kaput which is the top right 
black phenolic contactor. Somewhat common occurence. You could replace it 
with my Heavy Duty version which has twice the amp rating of the 
original,with silver contacts. Or,you could stay original,I have those as 
well. To be sure,operate it with speed control all the way forward (trans. 
in neutral) while measuring voltage across the two small terminals on said 
contactor. Presence of voltage but no change in speed in 3rd position will 
pretty much pin it down.
 Hope you get 'er licked.
 Those New Ideas are nice,good machines.
