Thank you very much for the reply. Do you think that if I take the motor assembly to an electrical repair shop of some sort they could put in a new capacitor? How do people usually install new capacitors on their Hegner scroll saws? The whole thing is attached, not as easy as changing a battery

My Old 1980s German Hegner polymax is not working. The motor spins just fine, but when I attach the belt, it makes a humming sound and doesn’t work. Someone had mentioned that it could be the capacitor. But if the capacitor didn’t work, why would the motor be spinning OK?

My name is Jonathan. I live in San Francisco and about four years ago I bought a 1986 Hegner Polymax 3 in great shape for $700. It came with some extras too. The guy told me that it had been sitting in his garage for 25 years not doing anything. Anyway, I bolted it to a small sturdy table and it’s been a great useful thing to have for all kinds of projects. I did, of course, watch some of Steve’s videos and others to learn some of the basics. Anyway, the other day I hurt my big toe and I needed to minimize motion so I proceeded to cut myself some hard plastic insoles in the Scroll saw. Then something happened and the scroll saw stopped working. I now only hear a hum when I turn it on. I read somewhere that it’s probably the capacitor. So I have a few questions for anybody who could help me: where in the machine is the capacitor, what kind of capacitor is it and where can I buy it? Thank you
