So one day an intermittent problem with my Tajima embroidery machine became an always problem. I had a job I needed to finish, and there was no time to wait for parts.
Usually the machine worked just fine, indicating the main control board and likely the XY driver card were still fine. That left only the motors to be suspect. This is not a guarantee. This fix may not resolve the issue and then the other components must be inspected/replaced/whatever.
This fix is, however, nearly free for someone who isn't afraid to dive in.
So, since I wasn't going to do this twice just to make a video I recorded this on the fly with a gopro. I had to mess with the audio to get rid of this weird helicopter sound the camera generated, but it's still mostly watchable. It's basically raw footage with some of the silent parts sped up. There (hopefully) won't be another chance to do this with my machines, so this is the take we have.
Undertake this 'repair/mod' at your own risk.
