VPI SDS capacitor question


I saw the following statement from Stringreen in another thread:
"If however, you do decide to get the Classic, be sure you tell VPI you have and want to use your SDS. There is a capacitor in the motor circuit that has to be changed."

Can Stringreen, or anyone else, address this? I have the SDS and the Classic and this is news to me.

You can get them at any parts supply for a buck or so; I forget the value, it should be one here in the archives. I replaced it on the only Classic I have sold so far as the standard cap was giving a loud pop when turned on; no SDS was involved. Very easy to replace; just took me a few minutes and I have slowed down a lot the last few years.
