I've used a 130 - 156 MFD @ 110-125 VAC cap from Grainger in CDE 44, Ham
II, and Ham IV control boxes with great success. Grainger part number
is 4X059A
Also don't foget you can mount the cap right at the rotator or at the
base of the tower for added starting voltage and can also double up on
the wires going out to it to save on voltage drop. Phil KB9CRY
