Helping out someone fix their Clean Sweep crane. Board generation 1/2 . Needs relay and tension adjustment. He called Smart Industries and the relay is $8.00 but the tension pot they want a staggering $100 for it!!.
Any other possible sources , looked on ebay a while back but no boards.
Thanks in advance.
 
What is the tension pot ? A potentiometer I presume ?

Is it missing the pot ? The old Big Choice cranes used
wire wound pots. As long as you can figure out the
approximate value of the pot you can use any wirewound
pot that has a high enough current rating.

Yes that is correct

just a brief comment..

not sure if what i say is helpful...but MOST electronic parts are just Regular electronics Parts...if you understand that...which means 98% of the time you can find that part at either digikey or mouser or even on EBAY ;)

YES...even Ebay...so before you give up...try getting the info off the part and try looking it up and even look on ebay...you might happily find it there :)


my 2 cents :)

Good Luck :)
 
It's been a long time since I worked on an old smart crane and I may be wrong here, but I believe they used a rheostat instead of a potentiometer for the claw adjustment.
