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
