Hi
Power factor correction?
Hum suppression?
If its the type in a small squarish soldered up can.
Then open can and remove oil and paper.
Replace with modern type
Close up can and re-solder
Put it back where it came from.

Having read all sorts of bad things about these older

capacitors, I decided to replace the one on my 8a. I got what I think is a
replacement - 6 microF, 660VAC, 50/60Hz, "NO PCB's" - but it is physically
about 1/3 the size as the original.
Did the tech for these get that much better?
What purpose does this serve? It's hanging off the transformer. I see
lots of links about motor start capacitors, but nothing relating to
transformers.
