Dan O,

Thanks for your information.
Absent this test cord device and hard start kit, which I would have to buy anyway, I suppose I will buy a starter relay then overload in turn. I am not sure what the 'capacitor' is. As you well know, as the bill starts mounting up to $100, $150, etc, you may as well cash in on a new box. If that happens rest assured it won't be a Frigidaire.
If only a parts supplier were kind enough to let me try and return each in turn.

lol as far as shaking perhaps you need to straighten this 'expert' out:
