Mine blew up. one of the caps just went phissst. I got it as a gift, prior to which it had been sitting for years in a basement. I cleaned it out and used it for a while when all of a sudden it started smokeing.
the cap(hopefuly it is only one) is an electrolytic 160v 220uf located inbetween the majority of the relays.
i'm just starting the diagnostics.
Does anyone have a schematic?
does anyone have this machine?
or know what might have caused this?

more info needed?

Thanks
Bill
