Thanks Geoff,
Had a look at ebay, but the bidding had closed. Also a bit iffy at second hand electronics in case it has a similar problem.
I installed the new one today so all is well there with no loose connections, and then stripped down the old one. Part of the spade terminal block has been completely blown away. It doesn't look as if there is other damage, but I have no way of establishing that. If I can find a replacement for the terminal block I'll have a go at fixing it and see what happens, just for the exercise.

Terminal block is left hand bottom side of board. Second terminal is now just a hole where it should be.
