RE: [A/S] Re: Need capacitor for 1972 International Armstrong air-conditioner

A motor capacitor is a basic electronic component used on electric motors.
[Tpically to reduce current draw on starting] The size and shape need not be
the same as long as the electrical characteristics are the same (though a
slightly larger capacitance would work as well.

The two critical parameters are:
Capacitance (in micro farads) and
Voltage

These values should be stamped on the old capacitor.

You sould be able to get one at a good electrical upply house.

A dozen or so years ago, I replaced a capacitor on a 5 hp GE motor on an air
compressor. In this instance, Granger had the exact same item.

You might also try the Yellow Pages under electric motor repair, rebuilding,
rewinding - firms that work on the guts of electric motors. They could
direct you to a source for the capacitor (or even supply you with one)

Good luck.
