I just picked up an old Rockwell wood lathe and the start capacitor seems to be bad. Of course the paper tag is damaged and I can figure out what capacitor to use. The motor is a Baldor 1 hp motor running on 110 VAC. The motor tag says that it is a L3510. Does anybody have a suggestion as to what micro farad range to use? Do I need to get a capacitor specifically for 110 volts? My motor can be set for 110 or 220vac. Most of the capacitors seem to be rated for 220-250 vac.
My electrical savvy is pretty limited, but I keep trying.
