[GreenKeys] Model 28 TD Mods

[John W9DDD]

Tedds.com has sku 2020000083 which physically fits in the belly of the motor assembly.  It is electrically the next larger in capacitance, but works fine in the 1/20 HP and I think the correct size for the 1/12 HP.
The other thing is leads instead of solder lugs.  It actually has a 181xxx Teletype part number on it   .

IIRC a search on their site for the cap p/n for either the 1/20 or 1/12 HP will get an exact replacement ar 4x price.

John, W9DDD

I want to do the same  on my second TD but I am trying to ring out the clutch wiring with an ohmmeter before I put 120 VAC anywhere but on the motor
