[Amps] motor run cap

[Carl]

Well Paul, you can always drive over and drop that little beauty off 
right here.

The starting caps are non polarized and available at most electrical 
supply shops or motor rebuilders.

You could also create a substitute with a pair of electrolytics as many 
have done as a sub in HAM-M style rotators.
