I'm posting this because I know I'm not the only one here who has a Craftsman Professional Model 22401 Bandsaw. Several of you bought one when I bought mine and others have bought them since then. BTW -- Those with Rikon band saws the parts list for your saws is the same as the Craftsman. As I reported in the post http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=151887 my motor went out. The run capacitor on the motor burned up.

Fried Capacitor
After finding out that all Sears Service could do for me was replace the motor/capacitor unit at $197 for the part and $197 for the labor. A brand new saw would only be $503.99 today/was $459.99 last week.

Band Saw Motor Assembly/Capacitor in inside the box.
I was left with only one possibility, find a capacitor that would fit. No, it is not a standard size that most electrical supply places stock. While I appreciate all those who helped I found one thanks to great customer service by John Buchanan at Eurton Electric Co. Inc. For those who own a Craftsman Model 22401 or Rikon band saw you might like to know it is Part No. 3058 - Capacitor - CBB60-D150 - 50uf - 450VA for $25 including shipping.

The New Capacitor in the Box
I'm excited to say that the band saw is now running great. Problem solved for $25 instead of $400.:D
