    Picked up a nice Sea Devil but the torpedo arm motor function went out on me after about a week. It has a left and a right directional relay that connect to an early circuit board.

    One of the relays is humming badly and both relays and the board have motor run capacitors? that are old and assume bad. Steve doesn't have them at PBR, so need to order somewhere else.

    I have no idea what the markings mean and how to look these up at Mouser. Can someone help translate this for me?

    The board capacitor is BR 60-150 60 MFD 150 WVDC
    The relay capacitors are BR 8-150 8 MFD 150 WVDC

    Thanks!

    Both are available from Mouser, I'm sure you can look around and possibly get better prices.

    As to answer the dissection part of your question.
    Your original is listed as...60 microfarads and 150 wvdc.
    Microfarads is a measurement of stored energy and the wvdc is working voltage direct current.
    You can use a higher number for your vdc but keep the microfarad at the listed number or slightly higher if needed.

    Got my capacitors. Significantly smaller than the originals, but the #'s match.

    I'm assuming better tech these days for the size difference.
