I am hoping that someone can help me here.
This is my first post. Whether wisely or not I have decided in my retirement to start playing around with electronics so hope you will forgive my lack of knowledge etc. I am also in the UK to some terms might differ.
My first problem is with my Model 4P. I fired it up after having laid idle for many years. All was going well for a few minutes until when there was a bang with the associated smoke an smell. I disconnected it and stripped it down and discovered a blown capacitor. There are two others of similar make and suppose they should also be replaced. I am enclosing some pics to make it clearer.
From what i have read this type of cap are not recommended so could someone please suggest what they should be replaced with.
Sorry about the dust - that will be cleaned when I find a suitable brush.
Thanks
