Hi, and thanks for having me on here.
I bought an electric pottery wheel for spares or repair and am trying to repair it. It plugs into a normal 240v socket and has a simple rheostat variable speed controller operating a 1/3 hp DC shunt motor. The electrics have got wet at some point and the pcb needs to be repaired. It doesn't look too badly damaged, probably just remove and solder in some new components but I need advice on the components. I can solder but am not an electronics expert or even that knowledgeable on electronics.
Here are some pictures. Would someone be able to let me know if I am right and that the pcb is worth repairing? If so, any pointers as to exactly what?
The green Capacitor needs to be replaced. marked 0.1uF (x) ....
As does a paper? capacitor marked as P22 100.
As does the power transistor in the heat sink marked ITT TC 06 40
I would also like to add in a switch to reverse the rotation and need help with that too.
Any info would be useful.
Is RS Components the best place to try and buy from?
