    Restoring / Repairing a 004A 005A A11 Static Exciter & Voltage Regulator

    Continuation of post #3 further C2 has now reached an age where they are dried out even though they show correct capacitance when tested, but because they are bone dry, can no longer maintain this capacitance at or near their rated AC / DC working Voltage these are Motor start capacitors, or...
