Ray,

The phasing capacitor, an AC one, can lose its capacity with 
age.  Most times a sluggish rotator can be corrected with a new 
capacitor.   An over abundance of capacitance and voltage rating, in 
the new AC capacitor, doesn't seem to affect the rotator's new 
performance .  You will probably have difficulty in getting the exact 
rating and size locally.  I've even  had to mount a new larger sized 
capacitor externally to the control box.  Fortunately its leads go 
across two of the external interface terminals.
