Ray,

I just rejoined this list after a 4 year absence, and the first message I 
got 
was yours.

Nope, that is actually four mfd. And that 660 V rating is correct, too. I 
replaced one of mine with a 440 V rated capacitor. It lasted for a while, 
then 
shorted out and blew up, taking the transformer out with it. I later 
checked the 
voltage on the cap when it was charging, and it was almost 700 V.
