Hi,
I've got an electrolytic I pulled from my TU56 drive because it had a big
crusty electrolyte extrusion through the vent plug in the top. The
capacitor is marked "SPRAGUE 100 MFD 55V - 60CY A5030". It is 2" in
diameter and just over 4" tall, with two solder lugs on top. I think they
are connected to the drive motors.
I have looked for replacement electrolytic, but they all have way more
capacitance or way more voltage rating, and are nowhere near the right
physical dimensions. Is there a source for exact replacements?
Hi
Also, be careful, this sounds like a non-polarized cap. Rather
then checking with electronic supply companies, check with people
that do electrical and motor suppies.

If not, should I just get one with the right diameter for the mounting clamp
and the right capacitance, but some huge voltage rating, or is the voltage
rating more important and I should beef up the capacitance instead? Or do I
have to get both those right, and substitute a little dinky device?
Thanks!
Vince
