    OK, here comes my $0.02 worth or advice on capacitors…… If you look thru all the various listings for cap applications the vast majority fall in the .2 to .3 mf range. Now as for variability, some of the best modern condensers (caps) have a tolerance of +/- 5% , most commercial caps are +/- 10% . Now I ‘m guessing that the vintage wax-paper caps that we have in our motors are lucky to be not that good, likely more like +/- 20% of nominal range. So, bottom line take any good cap in the common .22 mf size and your motor will be happy.
