Vinylium Dub cutter, Urgent help needed please!

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Vinylium Dub cutter, Urgent help needed please!

Help needed please guys.
I have a Vinylium Dubcutter which is giving me nightmares at the moment, with the feedscrew stopping randomly anywhere during a cut. Already destroyed 2 styli today. Decided first to have a look at the half-nut and feedscrew in the cavity behind the cutterhead, and I found a loose wire. The switch on the right has one wire attached and common sense tells me the loose wire should go on the other terminal of that switch. However, there's similar connection on the left side which seems to have no purpose (that I can see) unless this wire attaches to that. Shame the paperwork that came with the machine (new) is so basic.
If someone could have a look at theirs, or just someone who knows could help I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Thanks Flo, just sent an email to you. The machine isn't new, I just meant that I bought it new from Vinylium :)
