I have a print out of the circuit diagram linked above and so far the capacitors have only cost me a couple of quid. I'm trying not to spend any more money on it so hoping it's a cheap electronic part and still available, otherwise like you said I'd be better off getting a new machine with...
Thanks Eddie, there is AC output from the transformer but checked the thyristors with a multimeter (took them out first) and they seemed to work. I checked the gates using an external power source, but I will check again tomorrow - still learning.
Could it be that the diode/gate is working but...
I've picked up one of these and trying to get it to work. No output at the terminals, nothing when I try to arc. Leads seem fine, have checked the thyristors with a multimeter and seem to be working fine, transformer hums away, fan constantly on and I have a 13a fuse in the plug. Other than the...
