¿ªÔÆÌåÓýGood Morning,
Thought I would add my 2 cents worth...
Since it looks like there is a shaft
extender on the cap, that does give you a little bit of room to
work with.
If it were me, I would look for a
solution using some small nylon gears. If you use 2 gears, you are
right, the cap will work backwards. If, you add an idler gear
between the gears (3 gear solution), the cap will rotate in the
correct direction. Use the gears with the same number of teeth on
the front panel shaft and the capacitor shaft to keep the rotation
the same. The number of teeth on the idler gear doesn't matter as
long as the mesh with the other gears is good.
Also, on rebuilding the original cap. A
few years back, I picked up a ball-bearing assortment to use if I
ever needed to repair an existing cap (probably from Amazon).
Fortunately, this was not necessary for me, so I can't comment on
the success potential.
