[Jukebox-list] capacitor advice

Hello all,

I've been working on my Wurlitzer 2800 and I found a bad capacitor in  
the control box.  I'm planning on replacing all of them since I've got  
it all out, but I'm wondering about some of the capacitors that are  
under there.  I have two Cornell Dubilier capacitors, one rated  
124-149 mfd and 50 VAC and the other 65-93 mfd and 50 VAC.  These are  
motor starter capacitors are they not? Where would I source a couple  
of these guys since I don't see any in the usual spots I order  
capacitors from.  Should I replace these? Are there any different  
precautions to take with this type?

Also, another capacitor is polarized and is simply marked 50 mfd and  
50 wv.  I think the wv stands for working voltage but I'm not sure. Is  
this just a simple replacement or a different capacitor? I just  
haven't seen this marking before.

Thanks in advance for any help. I like being cautious when working on  
the electronic side.

Thanks,
Mike
