Had a similar problem-some 18 months / 2 years back.
Have you pulled the brakes apart yet ?
Physically checking them.
I had new shoes and the drums machined as
well,,,everything nice and square again. Cost $45, drum maching was a freeby.
I had noticed that the magnet was attached to a 1/2 moon "thrower bar", that was basically an extension of the hand-brake cable linking lever.
That "thrower bar" rode on a raised part of the brake backing plate, and if the "bar" slid over the raised section, the shoes would bind up and lock the brakes,,
Answer then was to keep the shoes adjusted up, so that the magnet had minimal travel, then and only then could I adjust the controller properly. We have a Techonsha Voyager, but wish I had got the Pridegy ( spelling )
Been gr8 ever since
Cheers
