Any small electric repair shops?
My daughter plugged her record player in using the wrong power cord, and blew a capacitor on the circuit board.
It’s not an expensive record player, and it looks like the capacitor was the only casualty, so if it can be fixed economically I’d like to do that vs buying another.
Are there any small electronic type repair shops anymore? I’m in Middletown…
I can’t decipher what’s left of the old capacitor to identify it, but I’m sure an expert could easily- melt the solder, remove the old base and resolder new capacitor…

Might want to try magnetic tape. I think they are in Jtown now.

Just put a bunch of smoke back in it and seal it with epoxy.kokopelli wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 6:08 pmMy daughter plugged her record player in using the wrong power cord, and blew a capacitor on the circuit board.

Re: Any small electric repair shops?
Unfortunately, the bench time will probably cost 1/2 or more of the the value of the player. This is a COMMON issue.
What are the values of the caps on either side? 10uF, 47uF & 100uF and volts 20v-100v are common values for input filter/conditioners. I'll dig through my box-O-lectronics to see if I have one.

That’s what I was afraid of. It was only $60 new…nemo wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 9:08 pmUnfortunately, the bench time will probably cost 1/2 or more of the the value of the player. This is a COMMON issue.

Here’s the components on either side of the blown one:

Re: Any small electric repair shops?
Just replacing the capacitor might not fix it.
Something else might be wrong that caused it to go bad.

Oh ya you said that.
If you can put the wrapper together enough to figure out the value the rest should be easy.

Possible easy fix, that bang was a all or nothing sound.
