The line-power LED I described works reasonably well. I have tried capacitances up to 155uF so far, and am unable to exceed about 45 degrees before losing lock. I never see a resonant rise in the voltage across the motor. Has anyone used 1/2 HP motor, 3600 RPM with John's phase controller? What capacitance did you find to be ideal?
Maybe you need to grind a little more off of the flats? When running without the controller, at what voltage do you get synch lock?
