Cooked 66K electronics
I picked up a decent 66K for a song the other day, owner said it didn't run. It's a knee operated motor, with a pair of capacitors clamped to the chassis below the flywheel. Motor runs like new, but one of the caps is clearly cooked, there is a heap of goo below it.
Are these caps jut rf suppressors like in many foot controls? Can I snip them out of the circuit, or do they have other functions?
