It is what it says on the tin, 2 microfarad 280 v AC rated, made in 1956.
Are you having problems finding a replacement?
What function is it in the set? I see that it is probably on the mains input as a suppressor, so value is not critical, AC voltage is. An X type ( or 2 in parallel to get the value ) will do fine, 250v AC rated
