    OK, I realise this request may be a little weird but after ebay, google etc, I think there maybe someone out there who can help. I'm looking for 2 capacitors for a single phase 240 volt 50 hertz motor which is used by a compressor for filling oxygen tanks. The capacitors I need are 240 volt 40 micro farad and the other is a 125 to 150 micro farad one. I can get them here in Ireland but they are quite expensive compared to other sources (or so I'm led to believe).

    No harm in asking I guess!?

    I would suggest you try maplin, peats(may not be on their site, could try calling them in parnell st, dublin), farnell, radionics

    if none of these can help, I suggest you put this request in engineering.

    Best of luck

    Thanks for the response Random Stranger, I'll give those a go but I actually never thought about posting it in the engineering forum (and that would seem like the most helpful source) so thanks for that.

    Try this place in the states. They had a hard to find component that I was looking for.

    I used to get caps regularly from a place in Greenmount Ind. Est. in Harolds cross years ago. Can't think of the name of it now and don't know if it's still there but if you're in the area it could be worth a look. When you drive into the estate you'll have Apex fire in front of you, turn right and go to the end. They are/were in the top right corner facing you.

    FWIW their prices were about a quarter of what our Italian OEMs wanted at the time.

    Excellent stuff, thanks for all the replies, very helpful although I'm still contacting the suggested sources!

    Appreciate the help.
