Default HMV Model 120

I'm restoring this record player which I believe dates from the 1940's. The motor was seized and I freed it off and lubricated the governor mechanism. However after running it for around ½ hour, there was a burning smell coming from the motor.

There are two capacitors either side of the motor which I've removed. They both read O/C on my capacitor meter and are not short circuit, but there are no markings on them. How could I find out what value they may have originally been? I may get the motor rewound though it might have survived the cooking.

Any advice would be most welcome. There is nothing on the net regarding this model.
