Capacitor for Emerson 24 in fan

[Chip Micus]

First off thanks for the join.

First post and I am afraid it is going to be a little wordy.

I have a Emerson Electric 24 in fan ( I believe is called an Elephant ear?) on a short pedestal,That came out of my family tavern back in the 60s.

I believe it is in need of a capacitor and I am having trouble confirming what I need.

The motor is marked:

Emerson Electric

K60-TB

RPM: 1150/750

HP 1/6 Volts115  Amps 2

The capacitor is marked:

Cornell Dubilier

106.05

330 vac    NKJ

I am having no luck cross ref any of this data to a replacement, also when looking at capacitors i am seeing Start, Start/Run,Run

Would really appreciate some guidance.

Thanks in advance Chip

You just need a 5mfd 450vac capacitor. 5mfd is the amount of capacitance and 330vac is the max voltage rating. I like to increase the voltage rating as it seems to increase efficiency when the fan is running. Below is what I typically use for these.
