testing cap - just use your multi-meter - what is the size (in microfarads)
of the cap? I doubt that a decent cap will cost you over $5 unless you
don't like surplus. are you in a location that is driving distance to a
decent surplus store?

wouldnt know how to use a multimeter if i had one. as far as surplus i
dont know but its possible. will look after the hollidays. this motor
looks propriatary. it doesnt look like any other motors i have found
other than from one of the manufacturers of mini lathes. maybe i am
missing somthing though. fisch delta and jet all look the same. probly
from the same factory. i beleive it has a metric shaft that measures a
liitle under 9/16" befinately not 1/2 or 5/8 standard size.
