Yeah, I'll give you a primer on the
capacitors on the TU56.... to get
replacements is about $70 each! For the four motor run caps anyways.
I'll get to refurbing my TU56 "Someday".
I hope to bring my TU56 back to life this year too ...!
One note on the ### motor capacitors.
AFAIK there is a difference between motor *start* caps and *run* caps.
If I am wrong I would like to know, else what is the difference?

AFIK there's no basic difference in the two types but they do have
different voltage and capacitance ratings. Dig up one of the OLD
electrical machinery text books from the 40s or 50s. They usually had good
descriptions of that kind of thing. the modern text books don't say crap
about motors.
