Also it the contactor chatters on start up try swapping the live feed over.
Transwave don't help the situation as some require L1 & L2 for control circuits while others need L1 & L3. Standardisation is not there strong point.

Taken from the pdf.
If the machine has a contactor starter the 400/415v-control coil must be fed from the phases marked L1, and L3. If the control circuit is fed incorrectly (i.e. connected to the phase marked L2) the contactor will either not operate or chatter when operating. Similarly, a control transformer and/or lighting transformer with a primary winding of 415v must be fed from the L1 and L3 phases. Connection to the L2 phase could lead to premature ageing of the control transformer

Glad you got there, have you found your power feed problem.

Good stuff
I always feel very clever when I sort an electrical problem, it's like performing black magic.
No not yet , i swapped the pots over and still no joy , circuit board looks good at a glance with no burned resisters , the contactor is clicking in and out , i could only get one brush out as the cap on the bottom one is that tight the slot for the screwdriver broke .
