Rek O Kut JR L-34 capacitor

[marcushifi]

I am trying to figure out what capacitor I need to replace this one on my Rek O Kut JR L-34 turntable. It is for the switch between 33 and 45 rpm.

This may not be the right forum but any help would be appreciated.

Don't get the question it is .05 MFD at 600 volts.

Use .047 uf @ 600V. Needs to be a safety cap. Class Y capacitor, I think. That way it fails "Open" so the turntable doesn't stay on all of the time.

I guess I am wonder what type of capacitor would be best. It might just be me but I cant seem to find one on Parts Express.

This is what I was looking for. Thanks!!!! I'm still learning this stuff so I appreciate the information.

I just cant seem to find a .05 uf 600v cap. Then there is ceramic, film, electrolytic. Which one?

Film cap. .047 is the nominal value. .05 is an older value that has been largely subsumed to a standardized format.
