HMV Record Player Model 178E - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello,
I am restoring a HMV Model 178E record player for a friend and are seeking information on the two capacitors connected to the motor.
There markings are almost unreadable but looks like 13MF and 1.1 or 11MF.
They both need replacing - one has ESR of 15k and the other measures 15pF.
The circuit diagram for stylus (needle) is on the underside of the cabinet but no mention of the motor caps.

Hope someone can help me.

PS This is my first post, trust it is in the spirit of the forum.

Thanks Rod.
