Here are my findings:

1) The condenser fan is running fine
2) The compressor motor buzzes, then overload stops it, to restart in
a few minutes
3) The compressor motor is HOT
4) Inside of the relay does not look burned.

This could be the classic cascading hard-start. let the compressor
cool, it may just start right up and run fine. otherwise, you are on
the right track.

Jon, I will get replacement parts today (capacitor and relay) and will
try to use them, and will obviously start out with a cool compressor.
