Casiotone 701 - Capacitors replacement

[Zooquest]

Hello there! I bought a Casiotone 701 and while I was playing a hear strange sound and a lot of smoke came out after: one of the two Rifa capacitors is burned. Anyone knows what can be the right replacement? Thanks a lot!

Technically speaking... "It's a fuse."

You probably had a line voltage surge during one the hellacious storms we've seen this year.

I guess also the fuse is gone and I have to replace it.

I can find the Rifa on eBay at high-ish prices, somebody suggested me to get them from reputable electronic component suppliers for example in Uk Farnell stock them:

...but I'm not sure this is the right one...

Hint.

Do buy and use a quality anti surge / line conditioner power adaptor.

About $25 US and above, avoid the $5 thrift store ones.
