Hi all im new to the forum but have just acquired a Clarke 100e in need of tlc. On reading the forum i found a lot of useful advice. I found the relay on mine was arcing its a Finder make attached to the pcb. I removed the relay extended the wires and replaced it with a Maplin replacement equivelent £6.95.
Im posting this as Maplin staff while helpful dont know whats inside a mig i came away with the first replacement with a coil rated at 250v (wrong) next a D/C 24 v (wrong)
The correct relay is 240v activated at 28 volts A/C..
The new relay will fit above the pcb i made a small metal box hot glued to the case and mounted it.
Also while looking in Halfords for a new liner i was interested to note that the sip liner they supply at around £9.50 is identical to curtain wire. A quick trip to the local cheapo shop and 4 meter curtain wire for £ 1.00 it fitted the torch and works fine. Hope this helps somebody.
