The good capacitor is not labeled like a normal cap, so I don't 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.
J=+/-5% tolerance.

My thoughts too - but 5% seems a bit too good for a PFC capacitor.
