Hi everyone--
I need to refresh my memory: does the Robot Group have a business ID
that can be used to purchase items from Grainger? Or does someone in
the group have a Grainger account, and if so, could I purchase an
item through you?
I'm trying to repair my Champion Juicer, and my current theory is
that the capacitor may be blown. It uses an Aero M 270-324MFD 110VAC
capacitor, and if what I know about capacitors is correct, I should
be able to replace it with a similarly rated item from the Grainger
catalog ( http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4CU31 ). Except that
Grainger doesn't like to sell to individuals.
If the answer to the Grainger question is no, I've found another site
that sells a similar item, plccenter.com:
http://www.plccenter.com/buy/Aerovox/677891102
But they have a $25 minimum order, and this is only a $5.28 part. If
anyone would like to purchase anything from their catalog to help me
get up to that $25 minimum, that would be another way to do this.
PLCCenter call themselves the "world's largest industrial surplus
supplier", and they've got a good supply of industrial automation
products, if you comb through their "Specials" page they've got some
DC relays and things that look, to my novice eye, like pretty good
deals.
Or, if anyone can suggest another place where I might get one of
these 110VAC capacitors, please let me know.
Thanks y'all!
