Hi, new to this forum and new to most things electronic component related.
As in my introductory post, I'm good for soldering, fixing up the grandkids console games but that's about it.
I am based in the UK.
17 odd years ago I purchased an ELU diamond core drill, model ELU SB43EK, I had never heard on the brand here in the UK at the time but it has been a faithful tool and has undertaken a number of jobs without issue.
Last week it failed to start when depressing the trigger, initial checks, it wasn't the fuse or plug top, delving further and opening drill up I discovered a burnt/broken lead to what I think is a capacitator, See images.
If it is a capacitator I have not seen one with 3 leads presumably one is an earth lead.
The capacitor had a burnt smell and had black gunge all over it which I have cleaned up.
A look online and a Google image search came up empty and this component, as is the brand is no longer available from any spares tool UK outlet as far as I can tell. ( other then that the tool is in good working order ).
Where can I get this capacitor or a decent make do equivalent?
Existing capacitator is packed into the D handle tight so dimensions of any replacement will be a factor.
You can see for the schematic drawing outlined in red, the component did have 3 leads.
