Kenny, thanks very much for the markup of the x-ray image. I had it under way myself but you've done a much nicer job. Based on your schematic from the later units on page 1 it looks to me like the possibly smoked capacitor performs the same function as the 1uF (105K) device that is external to the waffle board on the later units. I'd guess that mine has a couple of 470nF high voltage surface mount caps in parallel.I was away for the weekend (was a Monday holiday here in Perth), but I expect to be starting my epoxy mining over the next couple of evenings - initially down into the capacitor area between the bridge diodes and then widening it out as needed. I'll be working slowly and carefully with plenty of ventilation - as there are not many spares around for this module, and none at all for me.
