Hello all,
I've got a 1956 Bernina sewing machine that, after DAYS of restoring/cleaning/oiling, decided to blow its motor capacitor. It was a wax capacitor and I'd like to replace it with a modern equivalent. All the local electrical services are baffled, one did find a 0.1uF filter capacitor but it was way too big as the capacitor needs to be small enough to fit in the motor housing at the back of the machine.
The capacitor has the following printed on it -
0.1uF + 2 x 2500pF
250V 0 degree bis + 80 degrees c
284644 A 59.7
to -1.58 mHz7
Any help on tracking down a modern equivalent would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Kat
