Replaced the capacitor and all has been running cool again for about a week. Replaced my neighbor's too. Theirs stopped working again after 48 hrs. One more replacement on theirs and we're at 72 hrs of runtime since replacement.

Not pictured was the 3hrs of rechecking the process via YouTube to make sure I wasn't going to electrocute myself. Next I have to clean the coils.

    measure twice 40x, touch once!

    after all, one can never be too safe when working with the danger pixies.

    I work with things that you can only touch once. After that you literally won't want to touch them again. You also won't want to touch anything else 😜. Come to think of it, you won't want or desire anything, think about anything. More love or singing or running or moving much more than a passing twitch every few milliseconds.
