My drill press capacitor died- have to start it by hand.
Tool it to a local place where I go and he said that Delta did not offer the capacitor- have to buy the whole motor. Nothing printed on the capacitor. I won't pay $175 fort a capacitor. Anyone have any thoughts about how to find what capacitor I need?
Thanks,
Dave

Delta doesn't exist anymore, they're gone, It's just a meaningless former American brand name sold to the highest bidder years ago.
Getting parts for Chinese goods can be tough at best...Done with rant......I wish you luck but it might be easier to get another motor from an outfit that stands behind their products........

Are starting caps not pretty generic? Just look for a motor starting cap for a motor in the same up range and wire that in. Should work just fine.

The starting cap might be labeled with the needed info (microfarads, voltage limits) to order another. Plenty of places to buy 'em from IF you know the exact specs.
