You are correct... I twisted it around and the back lists three values: 40mfd 150v red wire, 30mfd 150v blue wire, and 30mfd 150v orange wire. None of these exact values seem to be readily available. I believe the 30mfd could be easily replaced with 33mfd, however the closest I can find for the 40mfd is 33mfd or 47mfd, either seven above or seven below. So I'll probably combine two 22mfd, that would produce 44 which seems acceptable. Thanks.
