    Posting some pictures of the machine, motors, wiring, and anything of else of interest might elicit some comment

    Otherwise start by reviewing the BlackBox documentation: docs:blackbox-x32:start [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    Also watch a clean plasma-build with the BlackBox like Dr-D Flo's Plasma build video below - might offer you some insight in what goes into building a plasma from scratch. Reviving old machines are usually a more involved process repairing, replacing, modifying
