Delta bandsaw motor replacement

A neighbor gave me a Delta model 28-185 band saw that the start
capacitor was burned up on. He had removed it and no longer has it. I
took the info off the motor and got a start capacitor from an
electrical supply house. It burned up almost imediately. Went to
another supply house and got another capacitor that they recommended.
Same result. I think the motor probably needs replacement.
1. Is it worth replacing, or should I just scrap the whole thing?
2. Where would I find a replacement? IIRC to get a replacement you
need to have the motor frame number. I can't find a frame number on
this thing to save my life. I can't afford a new bandsaw right now,
so that is out of the question.
Thanks for any advise.
Capacitors are insulators, and usually fail from overvoltage.
Is it wired in right?
