As some of you may have seen in the classifieds, my Polaroid Processor exploded this morning and I was looking for a new one. But I'm wondering now if the unit can't be repaired.
Opening the unit reveals what appears to be a badly blown capacitor. After cleaning up the bits of paper and foil, I found a few loose wires that can easily be reconnected. The motor capacitor, of course, is shot.
I'm not great with electronics, but I know the basics and can use a soldering iron. Can this capacitor be replaced? And if so, what with, and what might I need to know about the actual repair?
Appreciate any help at all. Thanks.
Both pictures are after I cleaned up a bit (I blew all the debris out). I placed the guts of the blown capacitor in the power cord housing so it could be seen...
