No.

If you undo it, it will have 2 large diodes in there, a cap and a resistor somewhere... youve already done the cap?

Had to replace the same on my ROWE 64 model.. had a whopping cap that i replaced with one approx 1/20th of the size.. i stuck it inside the original cap for authenticity

Thanks Gav. I probably won't replace the rectifier it if it's not selenium.  (or should I still?)

The original cap base is visible under the rectifier in the pic and you can just see a tiny bit of the resistor as well.
I do already have a replacement cap and yes it is much smaller than the original.
Haven't fitted it yet but was just going to bypass the original altogether since plenty of space.

Is it difficult to put it inside the original?  How did you do it?
Thanks again.
