Proteco Aster 3 ram fault

[soother]

No replies! Before ordering a new ram I decided to get stuck in and find out why one motor winding was open circuit. I used an angle grinder to make two openings in the bottom end of the motor housing, then drove out the stator assembly by alternate whacks with a hammer and nail punch.  Once apart, a burn spot was visible on the bottom end where the winding had burnt out. After some dissection, I could see that the arc had vaporised wires leaving 6 loose ends, so it was not surprising that the winding was reading as not connected. After some precision soldering under magnification and trying different permutations of the 6 to give equal resistance (about 75 ohms) for each winding, it is now re-connected, the motor is reassembled, and the ram is working properly and back on the gates. 

I took the attached photos of some steps of the process.
