This might be a bit small https://jr-international.fr/cbb61-450v-3uf-air-conditioning-blower_3MFN2_itm_english_GBP___.html?gclid=CjwKEAj w6e_IBRDvorfv2Ku79jMSJAAuiv9YECyFLrY72TEbh8RXcDCa5 X4UFhTvcPLwz4HIBZvqvRoCf0Xw_wcB

Hi Ukmiller
what is the capacitor used for ?
four of these in series / parallel combination could work
when the have them in stock

I can find 300 V capacitors but small 430 / 440 V poyester capacitors for spark suppresion or RF filtering is not that easy
have you tried http://www.bridgeportuk.com/

Its the carousel rotation motor capacitor.
Thanks for your input
If you can't find a replacement motor run capacitor small enough to mount where the original one does, just extend the wires and mount it some where else.
It's not an ideal solution, but it will work, and probably be cheaper and easier than finding a similar capacitor.

We found a capacitor but we also found out the motor is dead too. Got one on order so hopefully all will be sorted soon
