Default A/C fan motor capacitors

My dad called and has 2 air conditioners with bad capacitors. I dunno,
maybe a surge took them out. He lives way out in the country and the power
is pretty dirty.

One of the capacitors is a 10uF/35uF 370V motor run capacitor, with 3
terminals. Where's the cheapest place to buy replacement motor capacitors?
I've never seen a dual run capacitor before; it sounds expensive. The
air conditioner can be replaced for much less than $200, so it wouldn't
make sense to pay a lot for the capacitor. I'm not sure what his budget
is, I'll guess $20 to $25. Any idea where to buy something like this? He
says the local hardware store has 370V capacitors, but no duals, and none
that go up to 35uF. An appliance repair place said they thought they could
get one for about $40.

I guess you see where I get my cheapskateness (at least I came by it
honestly, LOL)

Thanks, regards,
Bob
