Why do Callins capacitors command such a high premium:

What's so special about them?

What's a good substitute?

Danke,

Is that a non-polar electrolytic? Looks like two regular caps potted.

What use is a 300 uF non-polar 'lytic?

Motor Start Capacitor:

NTE Electronics MSC125V270 Series MSC Motor Start AC Electrolytic
Capacitor, Two 0.250" Quick Connect Terminals, 270-324 µF Capacitance,
110/125V

But the Callins is 25 volts.
