The buzzing definitely seems to be coming from the motor. I put a plastic

It did manage to work briefly yesterday.. it did kind of a 'reset'. But

The 32/77-series was a 32-bit machine implemented in ECL, based on
earlier SEL designs, but is definitely Gould in design/manufacture.

You don't really think that retro video gaming is the singular, or even the

Tony's suggestion is the best at this point - look for issues with the
motor start and/or run caps. A shorted (or open..) cap can certainly cause

I'll have to read through the manuals and figure out where the cap is. I'm
assuming it must be round.. although directly under the fuse is a little black
