Hello all. Is there any member (probably UK based) that can sell me a motor capacitor for an Elf 16mm projector (NT1) Or can you advise what the modern day equivalent is/. Thank you in a advance for your help.

Hi Mark,
Can you shoot a picture that shows the markings on the capacitor? With a little luck it's a common value and something that can be easily found. -
Phil Sheard at Classic Home Cinema once stated that he had bought a lot of Elf/Eiki spares. Perhaps he can help.
In addition of getting the correct values it seems quite a small size capacitor which fits into a limited space.

If your Elf uses the same motor as my Eiki NT-2 (more than likely)...
Therefore this is what I've found on my NT-2
(I ended up removing the whole motor out to get the clearest shot of this capacitor.
)
If the exact replacement isn't available, anything around the same value (and 250v rating at least) should be enough to get it going.Comment

Thanks to Natawat. The capacitor shows as = 2.3uf 500WV.AC.
Here is one in the UK which looks very similar in size. It is = 2uf 5% 460VAC.

Would this be a satisfactory replacement?Comment

If the difference in capacitance turned out to be a problem, you could trim it upwards by adding a smaller capacitors across its terminals until the total is 2.3uF.
-As long as their voltage rating is up to the job it should work fine.Comment
