If I'm not mistaken...
that capacitor is wired wrongly; the red should go to one side of the supply and the black to the other. I expect that the yellow is an earth and should be grounded on the machine. In its current condition, the capacitor will not be doing its job (leads shorted together). However, the motor may still work without interference suppression. It's possible that the capacitor will have become 'leaky' in some way and it may be necessary to remove or replace it. Stephen | ||

Ditch the capacitor I always ditch the capacitors on old lux's these tend to short out and start popping sparks.the two motor motor leads go to the switch.longer wire go's to the top screw the shorter one go's to the bottom screw as I recall but if I am wrong all you have to do is reverse the leads EASY. | ||

Do some maintaiance I would go a head and install new motor brushes and clean the fans out with a test tube brush this removes the dust deposits in the fans. | ||

Thanks for your replies and help I appreciate your help with this guys. Now I know what I'm doing. And Mr. Crevicetool, your schematic is most excellent. I'm an Aero Engineer and couldn't have drawn it any better. Much obliged, GerryK | ||
