[amsat-bb] Another KR500 thread, maybe.

Hi all
I recently won a Kenpro KR500 rotor on Ebay for the princely sum of a 
quid. The alleged history was it was purchased, had antennas attached 
but was never wired or used and this I can believe because the connector 
block looks untouched. It was however left on its side in the garden so 
looks pristine but has suffered water ingress. I started to strip it 
down today and of course the eight M6 Phillips heads put up quite a 
fight but I attacked it with fire and it is now apart.

Having opened it up I'm now slightly confused as to what model rotor I 
actually have. It has the eight screw terminal block, the casing is 
stamped Kenpro but internally it has the limit switches and a capacitor.

The controller I intend using is an old Kenpro KR400 model and I assume 
has the 70uF cap across the switches. Do I leave this in place to use it 
with my rotor or should I remove it, or remove the cap in the rotor?
