The motor start cap on my chip collector seems to be a tiny bit dead.
Anyone know where I can find something similar to a CD60 cap, 100 uF,
250V AC or better. Size wants to be something in the order of 35mm
diameter and 80mm tall to fit in the bulge on the case.


When I needed one for my pressure washer, I went to a local motor rewind
firm,


I'd second that. You can find them in most big towns.

I'll third that - I had a similar problem with a 2kw motor from an old
pressure cleaner that I was converting to drive my circular saw; blew
the starter cap and got a replacement from the local rewind company.
