Ahhhh missed this! I'm new to the forum and didn't check page 2! Thanks Phil this is perfect info, that's all I need!!! I've sent the motor off to Robson and Francis Rewinds, London. They said they'll play around with various capacitors and hone in on the correct one. Your details of the...

Hello, I've found your rebuild thread with some delight!!! I'm rebuilding a TA175 and was wondering if your TA145 Brook Gryphon motor is similar to the TA175? I was pleased to see photos of the data plate on your motor but can't make it out that well. Any chance you could confirm the...

Thanks for that - I'll keep that in mind. I'm crossing my fingers that someone has a Brooks Gryphon of the same spec that I can open up to confirm.

Thanks Tim You've given me some excellent information. The picture you sent is also so useful as it confirms that your motor is identical to mine. I've had a brief look around the internet and your Brook Gryphon suggestion seems to be spot on!! The outer metal casing for the capacitor is...

The problem with capacitor shown above (Aerovox) is that I don't know whether it's the correct one, as it looks bodgercobbled by a keen diyer. I could order another of the same value (100-125 microfarad) and hope for the best but I didn't want to fry the motor if the information is out there...

Many thanks ;-) All call them tomorrow. Good plan...

Thanks for the info and I think your right (unfortunately!), the info is inside the casing and written on the capacitor. Even though, you can't get to your capacitor, all this info is very useful - knowing that 145, 165, and 175 all had the same motors (1.1kw) Brook Gryphon. Hopefully someone...

That would amazing!!! Thank you so much. A pic of the data plate would be really helpful, even if the capacitance value is not written on it. I'd be interested to know what spindle speed it was aswell and what amps it draws etc? Don't know if the cover for the capacitor pops off easily because...

Send the CAD file to a people who do architectural plotting, then plot 1:1 scale. Cost circa £10.

Hello, I bought a Startrite TA 175 table saw which is in a pretty poor condition. The previous owner said he started it by spinning the blade with a stick and thought the capacitor was faulty. The capacitor looks like someone has tampered with it as it's hanging off and the wiring is badly...
