A Nice Bit of Luck.
Hi All,
I have a Ledacraft Mini Lathe. Goes well, but being a Chinese 1/2 Hp. Motor, I have had to kick start it.
Told my Electrician Friend, that the Capacitor had had the gong. No probs.
Found a 4ft., 2 x 20 Fluoro, & lo & behold the same size Capacitor, fitted in the holder & all.
The normal cost was to be $15.
Cost to me zilch.
Works like a dream. So 1st. time out tonight, as I have to do a Demo for the "Geelong Woodcrafters Guild ". So I hope it holds up, & will report later.
Regards,
issatree.

The Capacitor.
Hi All,
Well I worked that motor for over 1 Hr. & it never missed a beat.
Very Happy with the outcome.
It has to go again on Sat. & will be most likely 3 Hrs.
I really don't see a problem coming, as I think it would have shown up last night.
1 Question ;
Would this new Capacitor give that Motor a bit more Oomph, as I thought it was running a bit Better & Stronger.
Regards,
issatree.
