Hi All,
I have the 8x12 HF lathe and have had the original 35 Mfd 250VAC Run Capacitor fail after 2 yrs. The replacement [which I may have improperly spec'd] lasted one week. Failure seems have to occurred with a fairly heavy load at the lowest spindle RPM.
I'm hoping that someone has a source for the Cap [I have looked all over], and some notion of whether increasing the rated VAC from 250 to 300 or so, might improve its life. Incidently, both caps shorted out.
Many thanks,
Brian
