nav54 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 set up sat mornin deeks out magnet up connect battery nothing just to find out the motor has given up it is locked solid, granted this magnet has seen a fair bit of use it is one of the expensive pinewood ones @ about £220 squid. It is only about 15 month old but i was thinking afterwards and havin looked at it there is no way to get to grease the motor this surley is a design fault. Any thoughts?

Cranfield Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Its best if you contact Pinewood and ask their views. Are you sure the battery is OK ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) seen this before, have you tried turning it by hand, its hard to do but it usually comes good. you just need to move it a fraction.

Will Beasley Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 all else failing get a wiper motor from that auction site or scrap yard and your on your way again The Pinewood one doesnt use a windscreen wiper motor. Its a planetary geared one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutley Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I brought a pinewood rotary it's been nothing but trouble from day 1!! Base came loose, top block with arms came off,, rivet thread that adjust arm height dropped out and more...... phoned pinewood and because i had fixed the first problem my self they weren't interested (said the warranty was Nil and void now) Some after sale service NOT Told them if they reckoned their gear was that good give me my money back and sell it to some other poor sod! No they wouldn't do that, keep sending it back when it goes wrong and they'ud fix it was their answer!! Great i said £8.00 a time to post it it would cost a fortune at this rate and pinewood would have had it longer than me!!! Obviously they have no FAITH in their stuff! once it's sold it's your problem now not ours attitude :blink: Wont buy jack **** from them ever again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I've got a UK shootwarehouse one and a Paul Hart one. The PH one is quieter and cheaper by far but the UK shootwarehouse one is slim and light if you need to walk a bit. I cannot see why anyone would pay the pinewood prices. The pigeons have not complained about either of mine !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
