you've got a good point.I'll see what radioshack has to offer, in any case i want to get this done asap. (no waiting for shipping).

Would replacing the caps, and adding different ones have any effect?
here's something interesting from wikipedia btw:
Capacitors are used in power factor correction. Such capacitors often come as three capacitors connected as a three phase load. Usually, the values of these capacitors are given not in farads but rather as a reactive power in volt-amperes reactive (VAr). The purpose is to counteract inductive loading from electric motors and fluorescent lighting in order to make the load appear to be mostly resistive.


Theres plenty of food for thought, but right now i need sleep.
