Default Re: Bellset 44 problem with indicator

I think the capacitor (or any other electrical energising) was innocent, given that the relay had failed to release over twelve hours later.

Thank you, Chris, for the shim idea. That was successful, so presumably it was residual magnetism. The end of the core now has a small round sticky label attached to it serving the same function.

Maybe there would originally have been some such barrier that has subsequently fallen off and gone missing.
