Need Capacitor for SilentFlo 5000

HotSprings Prodigy 2001
SilentFlo 5000 circ. pump. 115 VAC, Old #37949
The pump began to make a little noise then went silent and not pumping.
I removed the pump and opened it up. The impeller looks fine. Amp draw on the pump was per specs at.58A but nothing was moving and obviously it became overheated shortly.
I am an HVAC tech and when we have this problem with a motor we check the capacitor. Sure enough a 3.5 MFD cap. measured 1.2. Connected one of my 3.5 MFD caps and it spun up just like new.
Any idea where I might get a replacement made for this pump?
The old one is an Iskra 3.5 MFD, 280 VAC #KNM1225 metallized polypropylene film capacitor sealed in epoxy for safety.
I wonder how many pumps are replaced because of a bad capacitor.

Good luck,
they're made in Hungary so I don't wanna tell you to look there, it's just a dog. Perhaps someone else can help.
