I have a Bridgeport with a 6F (?) power feed. The circuit board has some obvious issues:
two components have fried. May be resistors, seems like the color bands were left,
and one component has vaporized (it was near he connector on the inboard side. It was apparently on fairly long leads.
It may have been repaired, the caps look new and one capacitor has had another one wired onto it in parallel. Was this OEM practice?
I see that H&W have replacement boards. My concern is that something caused a minor explosion on the old board and I sure don't want to use a new one just to re-create the disaster.
Would any of you have any idea what could have caused this? Looks like a new feed unit is just slightly more than a new board.
Is there any value in the old board?
Suggestions? Opinions?
Thanks!
