Hi,
Shortly after the release of the OPD, ICL issued an upgrade to the power supply as Capacitor C10 was failing. This was changed from 10v to 16v.
I have also had lately several supplies fail when Capacitor C1 goes 'pop' rather alarmingly , smoke and al'.
This is a
EVOX RIFA PME271M610M 0.1uF 100nF 250VAC CLASS X2 275VAC CAPACITOR - Singer
Also used in the Kenwood Chef mixer and it looks like Singer sewing machines.
About £3.50 each unless you want a big pile of them

Re: Power supply failures
The OPD power supply is a pretty standard Astec unit.
C10 would be the start-up capacitor.
As for C1, it's a RIFA delayed smoke generator. Don't replace it like-for-like, use a polythene X2 0.1uF capacitor instead. While you're at it replace the two 0.01uF ones as well as they'll go foom too.
All pretty standard stuff these days.
