      @@Paul-IE-Repairs I have to blame the HVAC supply warehouse(s) for this. They should be offering all high quality products for the HVAC industry, not the cheap stuff from China or cheap USA grade. I'm very sure there are better brands if they would stock them. I remember the name of "Hubble" when I was a teenager and their products were all top notch quality in electrical/commercial. I believe they are still providing only quality products but they are expensive.

    Nice few repairs. Seems like its a real benefit to have a good selection of capacitors, contactors and motors in the truck vs. having to do a one time trip to the HVAC supply house. I saw one contractor with a huge collection of them all organized based on their microfarads and all USA made. What a dream to see that on his truck...yes, a lot of inventory but he keeps tabs on what he uses and replaces them on his regular trips to the HVAC supply. I know it takes up a lot of room but CAPS tend to be the number one item that fails, thats what he said. It seems only fair for HVAC contractor to supply their customers with USA made parts when they have the option...if customers want China parts, they can buy them on their own. Its a sad day when folks call for professional service and all they get are Chinesium parts for the rather large cost to hire them these days. HVAC GUY uses USA parts so this isn't on him...others do and it seems wrong.

    I repaired X-ray machines in Hospitals and doctor's offices. Talk about always in a rush. They would have you think people were dying while the machine was down. Lots of small stepper and synchronous motors in them. I hate to say it but the American ones were crap and would overheat and fail. The Japanese motors were great and would run forever.
