this is neither the time nor place to explain how to use a multimeter -
suffice it to say that if you took the motor to a local city college, the
guys teaching any of the electrical shop/electrical engineering courses
woudl be able to help, any local radio ham would be able to help, any local
motor repair place would be able to help.

testing a motor cap takes all of 30 or 40 seconds. discarding the motor
because the cap is bad is kinda like discarding your car because a brake
drum cracked - yes, you can do it, but it's not the most economical
approach.


I happend to find a electric motor repair place not to far away today
but they arent open till monday. I'm gonna run it by there next week.
got my fingers crossed!!! but even if its a cheep fix i may leave it
broke till after i see what i can con santa out of! lol gotta play
the angle ya know.:-] I'm lookin into the crystal ball now to see
what may be in store!!! so far i aint seein squat! but there is still
a few weeks left.
