I've uploaded some photos of the motor - they're at
http://www.inspired-glass.co.uk/electric-motor.htm

The little cover over the electrical connections has a schematic which
seems to show a capacitor - would this be the starter capacitor ?

If so - do you know where it is ? - do I have to undo the long bolts
which appear to hold the two end castings together - and then does it
all become clear ??? g (or do I end up with a bag of bits g)

I think the schematics on that cover plate show two alternative
configurations - one with a strap between A and Z (which is what you've got)
and one with a capacitor (which would be external if it existed). So it
looks as if you haven't got one - so much for that idea!

Oh - bother g
I was looking forward to replacing a £1 capacitor and it all bursting
into life again..... shucks !


Is there anything readable on the larger plate (curved round the main
casing)?

Just been out to the workshop..
