Bosch POF 50 Router

I have an old Bosch POF 50 router which I use when I want a lightweight router, but it has just died on me

I have checked the brushes and they seem OK so I think it may be the capacitor. Does anyone have a parts diagram for this machine, or any other ideas as to why it has failed. It is quite clean inside - no dust build up.

It has BOTH brushes AND a capacitor?????

OK! an arc supression capacitor! It is doubtful a faulty capacitor would prevent it from running at all!

Thank you so much Dusty fo the parts list sheet for the POF 50 router. Not olny did you give me the parts list but the heading gave the name of a supplier here in the UK!

Thanks again
