TAM 120 problems and repairs

Whilst the major mechanical components have proved rugged in service, several examples of terminal boxes cracking and capacitors over heating with subsequent damage to the terminal block have been observed. These issues can be easily remedied using replacement items: see [3D Printed parts and spares]for a stronger design of 3D printed terminal box or replace with a suitable electrical junction box.

Suitable capacitors can be readily acquired from on line auction sites. Original capacitor specification was 40µF ±5%, 450V AC, 50/60Hz. The replacement capacitor must be suitable for continuous duty.

Where the capacitor has melted the terminal block, it's possible to "hard wire" a new capacitor according to the diagram, right. Ensure that suitable insulation is present at all new electrical connections and if in any doubt seek the advise of a qualified electrician.

  • TAM 120 problems and repairs

  • TAM 120 burnt out capacitor.

  • TAM 120 melted terminal block.

  • TAM 120 wiring diagram.

  • TAM 120 "hard wired" with a replacement capacitor.

  • Damaged terminal box along side 3D printed replacement.

  • Printable replacement showing areas where the design has been strengthened. Printable files can be downloaded from this page ... 3D Printed parts and spares


On later TAM 120's the terminal box and capacitor location was altered (as per photo top right of this page), presumably to overcome these issues.


TAM 120 broken cooling fan

Not thought to be a common problem, but one user has had a cooling fan fragment. A stronger 3D printed replacement has been designed and is available for download from the 3D printed parts page ... 3D Printed parts and spares


  • TAM 120 problems and repairs

  • TAM 120 broken cooling fan.

  • Strengthened cooling fan.

  • New cooling fan fitted.
