My old Kenwood Major food mixer stopped, emmitting a lot of smoke. The continuity across the windings appears correct, so it is probably the PCB Control assembly blown. Being an old machine I am finding it difficult to find a part or any circuit information in order to effect a repair. Can you help me in this matter? The model is - A907D, Serial Number - 0002416, 240v 50Hz 450W.

FYI.

The brown resistor parallel with the capacitor is 56 Ohm. (So the 3rd colour band is black).
The lightblue resistor right below is 68 Ohm.
The resistor left below I don't know. It is a red resistor with one black band.

Partmaster and 4kenwood spares stock replacement
PCB boards for approx £28.00, but the cheaper option might be to replace faulty components on the board. I've just bought a "for spares/repair" 907d on Ebay and it appears the 0.1micro farad capacitor has burned out and possibly the resistor which lies parallel to it on the board. The capacitor manufactued by RIFA is available from RS Components for about 44 pence. Unfortunately I am having difficulty reading the 3rd colour band on the resistor (green,blue,?, silver). To date have not been able to find a circuit diagram for the PCB in order to find the resistor value.
