Some URLs for replacement X2 capacitors (usually the source of acrid 
smells):

C2 - 0.1uF (the one that went on both my B/B+ machines)
http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=CA04489
http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=414-8386

C3? - 0.01uF (I haven't had this one go, but have had reports from others 
that its best to replace both)

Hope this is useful (to you or someone else)
