Re: Teleton STP812 8 Track player
Yes thats the culprit, remove and replace. When you fit the new part slide some
insulation over the wires (e.g. remove from a surplus piece of wire) and you do not have to cut the new wires short.

Re: Teleton STP812 8 Track player
To prove that capacitor is shorted, just cut one of its leads.
With the unit unplugged obviously. It's only there to stop audible clicker when the micro switch operates. |

It also reduces short range interference to AM radio and VHF television.

Where will I get another part? Will it be the exact same part or different. If its different will it go onto the same position or will there be others to add? |

Omg......you guys are fantastic. So, with it being cut, does it need to be replaced or do I need to fit a new one? What are the issues if I leave it cut without replacing it? |

Re: Teleton STP812 8 Track player
I would use the part I suggested in #13. Without it there may be an annoying click on
the sound or nearby radios - like a fridge thermostat switching off.

Re: Teleton STP812 8 Track player
That's expense.
Maybe someone has something they can send you Even a capacitor on it's own. |
