Well gang, it really pays when you find a good company.  My son heard 
of a local
company that fixes motors, I'd never heard of them.  I tried the 
couple of places
that I've done business with in the past, the main one, didn't do AC 
motors any more as the fellow that did them retired.  The 2nd shop 
wanted $200 to put it on
their bench.  So I called the place my son had heard of.  They wanted 
$35 to put
it on the bench.  So this morning I head over there and arrive about 
10:30.  I tell
the lady at the counter what's going on with the motor, and she says, 
"lets check
the capacitors".  So standing at the counter, Charlie pulls the start 
cap, it's bad,
and he replaces it.  Then he pulls the run cap, it's also bad, and he 
replaces it.
Takes it over to a bench and fires it up, it runs not problem.  Then 
he writes out
my ticket.  I figuer about $35 to inspect, and at least $10 each for 
the caps, so
about $50.  He hand me the bill for less than $25!  I give him a $5 
tip and tell him
to go "get some lunch".  I'm out of there in less than 1/2 hr.  Man am I happy!
No I just have to go brave the 94deg. temp and put the motor back on the
compressor.

Again thanks to every one for their insight and support.  I really 
should have dug
into this at my house, but did like working in the 94 shop.  One of 
these days I'll
get an AC unit for there.  Not to mention for $25 it wasn't worth 
getting my hands
dirty.  I'll still have to get dirty & sweaty putting the motor back on the
compressor.

John
