Hopper issue!

Hi all,

I've got a added a 'snail blazer' machine to my collection as my other one is working so needed the next project.

When I turn it on I get an 'opt 100p ALM 01' error.

I assume this is a hopper error if I'm correct.

I had the hopper open and the MOV had failed short so replaced it but still get the error.

1) Am I correct in thinking its the hopper

2) Any advice on repair of these outside of the MOV failing short.

3) Is it easier just to get a new one. I was thinking of taking the hopper out of my working machine to see but worried it might break that one in he process
