[Boatanchors] start capacitor

[manualman at juno.com]

5 wires, 6, wires, or 8 wires; the cost differential isn't that great. It
also assumes that you have the rotor down on the bench and are willing to
chase all the bearings on the bench and floor when you disassemble the
rotor.

Since this is a sealed capacitor, it would be a good candidate for
mounting at the rotor instead of in the control box...thereby reducing
the number of wires needed in the control cable.

I normally use

in my CDE boxes.  They are physically larger than the original starting
capacitor but there is plenty of room in the control box.  Since the
voltage rating is much higher than the original capacitor, these
capacitors last a lot longer.  Also, they are cheaper than the
"originals" sold by mfj and the various rotor repairers.
