Good effort and straight forward repair in the end. It’s a real shame they tried to take the pi55 and offer you £500 knowing they could easily repair and sell on the used market.

Buying a decade old machine sight unseen which for needs a replacement controller minimum, service, clean ... so they spend a £1500 to get it to speck= £2000 now they add a warranty and profit +20% vat =£5K quickly

I'd consider replacing those RIFA capacitors, they have a reputation for exploding when they get old.

[@Rwecosher]

as in the RC's? Same thing?

[@adamdavies163]

@@Rwecosher Yes, I believe it's that clear yellowy style of capacitor, I can only assume that the RC variants suffer the same fate as they are basically the same but with an internal resistor added. The resin case cracks with age and lets moisure in - then they fail quite spectacularly. Quite a lot of examples of them on KZbin.

Lots of Sasquatch in the UK dude. They can swim right across the English Channel. Get a clue. They’re all over France and the rest of Europe. Stop thinking you’re so special on your little island.

@@LocalSquatch5281 special? Not sure I do. I forgot about the constant stream of sightings on my special island, specifically in Kent - an obscure place where few people roam.
