Hi All,
Thanks for your comments - I have a large cap (I think that its 4.5uF or 5.5uF/1000v) that I bought new which is for use on big starter motor. I'll have a look at the calcs again but I think that I'll use this and strip out the old resistor dropper.
I agree that we should not go overboard with regard to asbestos but being over 60 years old its very likely to be blue asbestos and by looks of it its become friable (flakey or delaminating - which every you prefer) as such, it now in a dangerous condition as it will readly generate fibres.
Regards
Rob
