It
is a wax paper cap encased in a plastic shroud. Guarenteed to be bad now.
As a quick test, use a few caps in series to get the cap rated at 0.015 uf, 1000V. The formula for ding series caps is C= 1/((1/c1)+(1/c2)+(1/c3)+etc), similar to parallel resistors. Best to use caps narly the same capacitence, so the voltage drop across them is close to even. The smaller cap will see higher voltage. A pair of 0.03 caps, or 3 0.047 caps would do it.
