I am not an expert (but I am pretty sure there are experts at
vintagemachinery.org) Personally, my first reaction would be to look for
a fuse. I would use my voltmeter to check the switches, and what not,
and I would probably just replace the capacitor (there are various ways
to test it, but since you are asking for advise here, it's probably
makes more sense to just replace it). Remember that capacitors can be
"hot", even with the power turned off (read up on a couple of ways to
deal with that). Good luck getting it running again!
