[TowerTalk] T2X Starting Capacitor

[dash at hawk.igs.net]

Bernard,

Replacement parts are available from Hy-Gain.  go to:

    http://www.hy-gain.com/products.php?catid=10

The fifth line of the list you will find:

5151501 	Capacitor 130-156 MFD 	5.84

I have had good results ordering parts from them by telephone.  Incidentally I have 5 
rotators using this capacitor and none have failed.  I believe "starting" is a misnomer 
(although that's what Hy-Gain and almost everyone else calls it!) as it is actually a 
"running" capacitor.  It is in use at all times that the motor is running - providing the 
necessary phase shift between the motor windings.

73,
