Bandsaw bandjaxed!

We currently have a Bewo 370 swivel head saw. Control panel has been giving problems a lately and died completely there before christmas. Looking into parts etc but was just wondering if anyone knew of a dealer in Ireland or N. Ireland that would take it as part/exchange...

That looks very similar to a Bianco saw we have at work and the control panel looks identical, there are some fuses under the panel that might have blown that's what happened to the ones at work, sorry that's all I can think of.

thanks very much,

the buttons are kinda 'touch buttons' between the front cover and an aluminum plate. The one of the two that start the blade was broken. Have a call gone into the manufacturer to see if we can get a replacement. Don;t get me wrong, it was second hand when we bought it and its cut a hell of a lot of stuff since then but knew those buttons weren;t going to last the race...

it could be that the panel on has tactile switches below it like the one pictured which you can buy from maplin.
if on some of those switches you feel a small click when pressing them but the ones you are having trouble with there is no click the switch needs replacing they have a small spring steel disc in them that fails to return to its convex shape
that is of course if they are these switches

Looks a nice bit of kit, prob could rewire it and put normal switches in.

they are the little feckers! reckon on our 'investigations' we might have damaged the little tracks that carry the current, tried shorting a switch out with solder but the tracks are not metal, some kind of conductive fluid or something!

many thanks tho for info!
