Someone in the Yahoo group solved it for me! It seems that these motors are simply a big version of a domestic motor and the capacitors are just a big version of the domestic ones for radio suppression. What threw me was that when the domestic ones go the motors go at full speed, whereas this motor just stopped.
Anyway, now we all know. Not sure how common these are but I've acquired two of them in the past four months. Lucky me!
