Hi everyone
I'm more usually found on the various welding and mechanic'ing (if that's a word) forums so am a little out of my comfort zone here!
I'm here because my trusty old Vax 2000 has failed (whilst my dearly beloved was using it to hoover up the entire street by the sounds of it!) and is making a funny smell. It sort of runs but but slower and not smoothly.
I think I've traced the fault to an exploded capacitor (tried to attach a pic but get an error message) and, whilst I have got some numbers from it, I'm at something of a loss as to how to establish what replacement part I need. I'm hoping someone here can help.
The capacitor in question is a RIFA PME 271M and has the following additional numbers on it: 40/085/56, 0.22uf x2 and CB4. I've found loads similar on the bay and elsewhere but none that actually match these numbers. They are similar but typically read 40/100/56 or 40/110/56.
Anyway, here's hoping.
Regards,
Richard.
