Default Necchi 513 Rewire

I've recently come into possession of a vintage Necchi 513 zig-zag sewing machine. With original papers and receipt from 1963!

I had it running perfectly at home, however on further inspection noticed bare cable coming out of the motor and upon opening found a blown capacitor. I'm looking for a replacement capacitor but cannot for the life of me find a modern equivalent. (see attached photo).

Regarding wiring if anyone had advice on gauge I should be using for

1. Motor to Machine
2. Pedal & Mains to Machine

It would be greatly appreciated

That looks like a 3-pin delta capacitor.
The farnell website is crashing this evening so no part number for now.

I had a look on Farnell, but don't seem to find anything "close"?

My current has values of:

0.0025 + 2x0.00,5 uf
250V AC
BSS 613
Type S 8255/2

I think an extra zero has crept in there. It should be 0.025uF
