Yes.
The DS capacitor is probably blown.
I have a 41CV & performed the double speed mod. in 1984. When I did that the unit timed out 50% faster than usual- which I expected as the clock was running 2X faster.
I doubt you have don the modification, but if the ORIGINAL capcitor is blown, broken, or leaking , the exact problem you described will occur.
Try replacing it & see what happens. It should cost about 25 cents, plus some solder.
