it is 1700 RPM or 3200 RPM motor?

Is it 3phase or single phase?

If you actually see capacitor goo..simply replace the capacitor. Ebay or
local shops generally have the proper one.

Single phase. I don't think three phase motors need a capacitor to
start.

This post has gotten out of hand, I was hopping for a quick answer so
I could buy one on the way home from work and be all set to fix it
this weekend. I see that isn't going to happen. I want to get it
going I feel vunrable without my lathe.
