help with potters wheel
(OP)
hi can anyone please give me some advice. I have aquired an old potters wheel that needs attention it is aproximatly 20 years old it uses a normand electricial 220v dc shunt motor and a berco hsr42a dc speed controller. the motor works fine but the speed controller has a row of 3 0.1uf capicitors inter spaced with 2 resistors at the front of this bank is a component i am unable to identify it is about 1 inch long and 5/16 inch diameter and green in colour it appears burnt and is open circuit. it has a live 240v supply to one side and the other side connects to the ~ connection of a diode pack. i have had suggestions that it is a resistor and also that it is a high powered diode i would be most greatfull for any advice.

That fits with something that gets hot all the time and eventually oxidizes to the point of failure.
