Help on fixing old sunbeam mixmaster

[JDarvall]

Thanks David.

You've tackled my problem completely....the pictures and all. Feel spoilt I do. Thankyou very much.

I reakon you've done a very professional job on yours. With that small board, and heat shrink..... I wouldn't have done all that. If I had to work out on my own how to fit in a strange capacitor I probably would have just done some ruff soldering job....

But I'll definetly do as you've done.

so, must use

- 'metalised polypropylene' 240v......
- solder legs to the wires as well.

Do these particular capacitors have polarity (is that the word?) ....I mean , must they go in a particular direction ?.... if yes, I may have trouble working that out.....

Thanks again

Jake.

Glad my fix might be useful. Capacitors of this sort are not polarised so no prodlems which way round.

I agree I got a bit carried away in mounting it but my thought was to retain the original mounting so if by chance the official bit ever needed to go back in, it could. It hasn't!

All the best with getting your machine going again.
