Orac Spindle not turning

Hi everyone, hope someone can help me. I have an Orac lathe that I was planning to sell but unfortunately the spindle will no longer turn. When I push the Stop Start buttons, relays will momentarily energise on one of the boards in the rear but the spindle will not turn. The x and y actions are ok and if I turn the spindle manually, the spindle speed will indicate. It was working the other week but not now. All the fuses that I can see from the rear are ok. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Paul

Are you able to check that you have 240 volts going to the spindle drive unit?

Does it have the Brown Prestell Spindle Controller?
