Bernina breakdown

My bernina has broken down. The other night it started running on its own. The problem was a bust capacitor in the foot control. 
So where do you find a replacement for a 50 year old part. Maplin of course. 
My hubby soldered the new one in and away we go, machine working well again.

  1. Hi! I had the same thing the other day - machine running fast on its own and yucky sticky mess in the pedal. Sadly Maplin is no more and I am struggling to find a replacement capacitor. Was your replacement identical? If not what did you go for instead? So far I've only found cuboid ones that have approximately the right specs.

    1. It wasn’t exactly the same as they don’t make them anymore. It was a cuboid one with the same spec. My sewing machine mechanic says you can take them out all together. My hubby fixed mine for me
