It's not a standard motor-run capacitor value, the first place I looked for a replacement was electrical and HVAC supply websites. That TEDSS site is the only place I was able to find the correct part.

The cap in my set shorted out without warning after the set was on for a couple of hours. It'll pop the circuit breaker on the back when it shorts.
I replaced it with a cap I had from a parted out set, but who knows how long that one will last.
That's okay, I already got one from Brian, and I reckon NOS units show up on eBay from time to time. If all else fails I'll use the TEDSS site.
