I am looking for 2 710-850 MF 165 VAC starting capacitors for my air compressor, does anybody know of anywhere locally I can find these? ---

^ _Locally_ Fry… [http://www.s-selectric.com/](http://www.s-selectric.com/) ^ Those guys. If it deals with an electric motor, they have it. Expect a line when you show up because so many contractors know about that place. ---

Good recommendation, I threw him Volland in a PM. Give Chris Collins some more $$ ---

Thank you for the responses, I called all around and the only place that had it was the S-S repair shop JayS suggested. ---

I found the capacitors but found out the motor is shot. I ordered a new motor from one of my customers and should have it tomorrow. I definitely suggest the guys over at S-S they were very helpful and the only ones with the capacitors. ---

I brought a furnace blower motor in to S and S that had basically torched itself. Couldn’t read a single label anywhere on the thing. 10 minutes later the S and S guy had me walking out the door with a perfect match, and he explained how the hi/low wiring worked.
