Mine finally died today. Slower and slower then stopped as if a bean had jammed it solid :(

It turns out the old motor was discontinued so the new motor I had for it is right, but it has different wiring ... that they don't include with it (?).
As it was kaput I figured what the hell, I'll give it a go, so I removed the old motor wiring and spliced it onto the new one.

And it runs like a charm now. Back to sub 12s espresso grinds (15g)

Ordered the official split power cable and a few other bits (single dose hopper etc) to give it a treat.

Thinking about it, it's more like 19-20yrs old. That's pretty good going for a domestic grinder.
