My S45 stopped working. The original magnetic switch failed about a year and a half ago, and I replaced it with a new one from Minimax.
About 6 months ago, the switch got funky, and had to be pressed 5 or 6 times to start. And then after about 2 minutes of resawing 8" ash, the motor would stop, and would not start again unless it sat unused for 10 to 15 minutes. Based on researching similar issues posted here, it may be the capacitor or the switch. I will start with replacing the capacitor, but I don't know what to get to replace it. I am attaching a photo of the capacitor, and a photo of the motor specification plate. If anyone can tell me what I need as a replacement, and where to buy it, I would be most appreciative.
Many thanks,
Len
