When I recently asked about a sluggish HAM-III rotor, several folks
suggested that the phase-shift cap might need replacement.  I have
no schematic, so can't ID the cap in the control box.

One fellow said you could hang a replacement on the terminal
block (he thought pins 3/7), if only to verify the problem.

Given the transition from Telex/HyGain to MFJ, there is no
knowledgeable help there, so....

....does anyone know the value of the cap, and which terminals it
is connected to?

your direction!)
