Thank you, hopefully the local supplier (Jaycar) has something, rather than having to put together a larger order from Mouser/Digikey.
C2 was the reason I delved into it, following a rather dramatic emission
Thanks again for your help...

Hi,
Apologies, I wrote a reply and then it disappeared.
The RIFAs in question are C15 and C4 in the middle of the pic, they seem to go down to the flyback ground.
Since they go to both sides (live and neutral), could they be filter caps rather than X or Y rated safety caps?...Leave a comment:

Re: RIFA safety cap PME277 - x or y?
Thank you but is that really so? It seems at the time the RIFA caps looked similar whether X or Y?...Leave a comment:

RIFA safety cap PME277 - x or y?
Hi guys, new member here, trying to fix an 80s B&O TV which suffered a failure of the 0.1uf safety cap up by the power switch/fuse. This is clearly marked as x2. The replacements are half the size, but have the same rating.
Having read about RIFA failure, I also ordered replacements for the other two caps. Now that they've arrived, I'm not sure they are correct. The originals are rated 4700pf, and are marked as follows
40/085/21 GPF
PME277 MB447
CT5
250V ~ MP
LD2
VDE reg nr 5201.212222
Is this an X or Y cap?... -
