The good capacitor is not labeled like a normal cap, so I dont know what
value it is. It says K 505J 250. (I am guessing its 250 volt, but I am
clueless about the uf value).

I did figure out one thing on my own (using Google).

505J is a Japanese way of marking a cap. In this case, it's 5uf.
So it's a 5uf at 250V cap. I can only guess the "J" means Japan.

Why they cant label their caps like normal people, is frustrating, but
that's how they do it. Just more complication for no advantage. Kind of
like metric bolts.... The SAE bolts were just fine, but they had to
complicate matters and force everyone to buy and own TWO sets of tools.
Be careful you don't bite your tongue while it is firmly planted in
your cheek.
