Mike S, maybe you could find some old AC units in the dump. Test the
capacitors with an ohm meter. The meter should peg, then drop to zero.

It's possible to remagnetize the permanent magnet but my local motor
guys don't have the right gear.  I've recently been trying to figure
out how to do that for a couple of magnetos I have.  Seems like I need
some whopping big capacitors so as to deliver 50,000 ampere-turns for
a very brief moment.  I have a bunch of capicitors totalling about
100,000 micro-fd but they're only rated for 15 to 40 volts.  What
would I look in to find a bunch of 150V or 300V 30,000 mfd capacitors?
