did you get the links we sent you over on the greenkeys list for
sources on 33 manuals and paperwork we sent you? We did not get an
acknowledgment. thanks Ed# _www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org)

The buzzing definitely seems to be coming from the motor. I put a plastic
tool to the casing and could feel it vibrating. However, I can turn it by
hand (clockwise) and see all the gears and striker mechanisms working.
It did manage to work briefly yesterday.. it did kind of a 'reset'. But
yeah.. not today.

Given the blown fuse I'd suspect a stuck mechanism, so the motor is stalled
and you're getting overcurrent. Try turning the motor by hand to confirm.
