Recently, my Ives 3251 bit the dust. The wire to the headlamp was bare and shorted out whenever I tried to run it, so I did something rather dumb. I cut two wires; one was for the light and the other was the one that makes it run. Well today, I spliced the two wires together, not knowing what I was doing and when I powered it up, there was a blue flash, smoke, and a electrical buzz. Can it be saved or does it need to be trashed?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Alex
