Hi, havent been here for a while due to work and family problems.
I finally found a thyristor controller on ebay which may work with the shunt motor mentioned above. See photos of the other identical capacitor that is on the board .(the blown one is the one on the left hand side of the full board photo ,nearest the incoming line .)
Problem is i know very little of electronics and when fiddling around with a multimeter i must have shorted the circuit or something as one of the film capacitors started smoking and broke apart. I immediately removed the power but dont know if ive done any damage to the controller. Will it be a simple matter of replacing the capacitor. i cant see any damge to the rest of the control board.
The last photo is the blown part, there is also cracks in tthe other (ok?) one ,should that be replaced as well. Is there a source in the UK for this exact type (type x,i think)
Thanks for any help
Bob
