Default Re: Help Pls = Grundig TK64 Motor Not running

Dear Michael, i have not found a schematic anywhere for my version of TK64, that has a frequency switch shown, or the TWO capacitors i can see.

These two motor capacitors are sandwiched inbetween the drive unit chassis and the metal chassis of the electronics. Impossible to see, but one is big and one is small. It will not possible to replace these, so instead i will just bypass the middle motor wire directly to a new run capacitor.

I cant believe where they put these capacitors, right in the middle of the sandwich..lol

Lucien, yes, i was thinking the same, that this is in fact NOT a frequency switchable unit, as its set to run on 50hz and thats what we have in Australia.

Can i connect the new motor cap, from the middle to EITHER Side of the supply ? or will it only work when connected to the the correct side ?

I did connect a cap from a TK40, from the middle wire to the relay side, it did not work. Perhaps the cap needs to be connected to the Fuse side. PLEASE SEE SCHEMATIC
