Hello all, using the lathe yesterday running off the RPC, when a funny noise came from the converter, best described as a muffled fart (sorry). Lathe still running OK, but thought I'd better have a look inside it. Slight burning smell, with one of the capacitors different to the rest. Its a Boost Energy made converter, bought second hand and probably seen a lot of use.
Questions, does it look like the capacitor is toast, and is this common with the age of the unit ?. Also, would some other fault have caused this to happen, or will I get away with a new capacitor if it is indeed u/s ?.Thanks in anticipation, and a happy and healthy new year to all.
