Yeah, that will save the plastic for shor.

Full marks to that man! It worked a treat. Now I just have to find time to complete the task and start fault-finding.

The capacitor on the one I repaired was a charred lump. I can dig up the supplier detail if helpful.

[Chris J Dixon]

Thanks Tim, that would be useful to know.

I finally found time to complete the opening up of my shredder, which was straightforward, and it didn't take long to confirm that the capacitor was the culprit - there was a large lump of melted plastic on its side.

Luckily CPC were offering a free delivery, so it only cost me £6.77.

Now fully working and ready for the next bit of pruning.

Apple pruning time if it ever stops raining.

The free delivery for web orders has been permenant for quite a while now.

We don't take a newspaper so the inside pages make great starting paper for the woodburner. The covers are too glossy.
