Phil the fixer

Thanks DP, just ordered it from EBay, just needed the confirmation of which one would suit it, thanks again for the advice. ( the forum works guy’s). Oh! and thanks to ProDave for putting up the post about the ‘old tools’ (the old “tool’s” are the best) ha! ha!

Hi Dave, l’ve just found and joined this site as l was looking for info on an old circular saw/ surface planer made by a German company in 1985 Schwaben Gerate GmbH WERKMEISTER and up popped your post. I work three days a week at a Scottish Men’s Shed in a village called Findochty, l resurrect old donated tools and equipment and this old saw table with a surface planer attachment turned up and as l was busy the woodworking shed thought they would plug three extension cables together and fire up this old thing you can imagine the result. When they called me to reset all the trips and told me their story l found this lovely old saw table with smoke poring out of it and a tell tale stink and two guilty looking chippy’s. The start/run capacitor had gone into meltdown and l have searched high and low for a replacement but (now we come to it) could you or perhaps ‘Onoff’ might be able to help find an equivalent replacement capacitor?
