   Advice please..   
   This is a 250V 1450W Circular saw US made in the 1980s probably.   
   AEG CS825, It failed in use yesterday blowing fuses having been stored   
   in a garage.  Dismantle reveals a leaking swelled combined (film)   
   capacitor 0.3uF + 2x 2500pF XY type 250V~ with 3 leads one coloured and   
   2 black.  Too old for spare parts.   
   Presumably I can replace with X rated 250v or better individual caps but   
   I dont know enough!   
   Is the 0.3 for starting and the small two for anti interferance perhaps?   
   TIA C+
