Oh no. Disaster. That 15 year old Mc2 that I bought for second hand from coffeeforum has finally died.

Ground a dose. Slowed down half way through then stopped, popped and smoked a little and smelt of smoke.

Is there a preferred cheap espresso grinder in the same strata as this, just in case I can’t get it repaired.

Has anyone swapped out a motor from one of these?

Anyone happen to know a repairs guru that is glasgow based?

Thanks in advance. :)

On a Sunday too…. Dammit.

I replaced a load of things on mine, starting with a dodgy resistor on the pcb, then the whole pcb, then realised I hadn’t checked the motor properly and realised the windings had burned out.

Was very straightforward tbh.

Thanks for this. If you’ve replaced this many things and straightforward is still how you see it - had to be worth a go.

Good to know. ;)

FWIW, I'm absolutely terrible at things like this and I managed to take it apart to replace the spindle gear and put it back together again. And it now works.
