I'm looking to purchase a gear motor to drive this thing, and what I've settled on for the moment requires a "0.68 mfd (or uF if you wish) run capacitor." Problem is that I cannot find a "run" capacitor less than 1 mfd.

I'm wondering if it must be a "motor run capacitor" or if any 0.68 mfd capacitor with appropriate voltage rating will work? Can anyone with knowledge of such things give advice?

I hope it will work, the motor is cheap, continuous duty, correct voltage, and proper RPM... oh, and its not a shaded pole motor so I can vary the RPM later on... B)
