[Amps] Shaft Misalignment Solutions

[Bob Maser]

I like Colin's idea of mounting the caps vertically and using  right angle 
couplers.  That would solve the problems for the caps but not for the roller 
inductor.  Sprockets and a chain would work for it.  If anyone has 2 right 
angle drives I really like to buy them from you.
