What Capacitor? TAM 120
« on: November 14, 2014, 06:20:23 PM »
Blew the capacitor up today, it popped just where the ref numbers were, hopefully its just the capacitor, the user guide only says 33uF, anybody know what one i should be looking for?

I've got a TAM 120 (least I think it is).  I'll open it tomorrow and have a look.

Vince has a 120. Says he'll have a look tomorrow when he's sober enough to enter his shed. I think he's been on the cider again. 8)

Julian says I was 15 out.....a reference to my mis-understanding that your request was for a 105 cap rather than a 120. Just me being a dip-shit for not reading the thread topic correctly.

This is what's fitted to my pump.

Although I bought it second hand, I've no reason to suspect it's no original ... looks like I'll be needing one soon too, so posting details of where you purchase would be appreciated!

Going to need a terminal box cover too, but I might have a go at printing one.

Yep, exactly the same as the remains of mine, strange as the manual says 33 and this is 40
