Bernina 707 Sewing Machine?

Hi
My wife has a Bernina 707 sewing machine which is about 38 years old and has been working fine until today. It appears the 4 lead capacitor for the motor has blown. Capacitor is marked as follows:
Aps 16xb +12 250v
2/3.5 mhz 85 deg C
9.70
I would mention that I am an electrician so could easily fit a new one, but having difficulty finding a supplier - which is understandable after all these years. Any suggestions would be most welcome
Regards
DL

You can actually just remove it and the machine will run fine! It may effect any radios etc plugged in on the same mains circuit that is all.
