The saw can be seen in an earlier post:
Currently, when I turn it on it will do one of the following:
1. make no sound at all and the blade/motor doesn't turn.
2. hum/vibrate and blade will turn very slowly.
3. run perfectly
As of this writing #3 is its current state. I took the electrical cover off to make measurements and upon turning the saw on I once heard a verrry faint click possibly coming from the relay but usually I don't hear it. Maybe a failing relay? The start capacitor holds a charge that slowly decreases when I measure it with a voltmeter so I think it is OK. The relay is a Klixon ACR-1-735 and no longer available. It measures 1" x 1.25" x 2" (see pic) and I can find one that looks just like it in a meat cutting machine (for $40+) but no specs are given and I don't know what the specs (amps) are on my relay. I'm reluctant to buy it knowing nothing about it but its appearance. Any ideas? suggestions? extra relay?
