Hi,
I am new to this forum. I am a student and don't know much about electrical engineering.
I have a commercial vent fan from 1916 I am trying to restore to functioning condition. It had what I assume was a run capacitor from Singer (yes, the sewing machine company) rated for 500v and 4.3µf. I cannot find ANYTHING in that size and don't know what to replace it with. I think it's important to mention that I used some alligator clamps and got this thing fired up without the cap just to see if it functioned and it was pristine, although slow to get started obviously.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Moe
