Re: AEG component identification
The capacitors are indeed non-polarised. Drawing the first bit out again, is this what's happening? I was finding it hard to get over the idea of current just flowing to ground, as I find this conceptually tricky.
Checking the rectifiers on an AVO gives a random combination of a couple of hundred kohms and shorts. My Megger is in storage, but using my capacitor tester at 250V one has microamp leakage when reverse biased; with the other both polarities draw more current than the tester can supply so it never rises above a few tens of volts. I think it's safe to assume faulty.
