Twinkie74, Try Teds Capacitors, North Carolina. They should have just what you need. I have purchased capacitors from them and they are great.

I just replaced all my capacitors on my Armstrong TR21-12, here are the values of the originals.
Compressor: 30MFD 370VAC
Blower motor: 7.5MFD 370VAC
Fan Motor: 7.5MFD 370VAC
Start capacitor: 21-25MFD 250VAC

Here are the Grainger part numbers
30MFD 370VAC, #2MEC9
7.5MFD 370VAC, #2MDV6
21-25MFD 250VAC,#6FLU1

The original "compressor", "blower motor" and "fan motor" capacitor was one unit. I don't think they make such a beast today, so you need 3 different capacitor to replace the old 3 in 1 unit.

BINGO!!! thats it! I knew someone would have it...about a year ago I read as much about these units that I could get my hands on and found similar info but was at a loss to recall where that info was...the AC works fine now but it is olny a matter of time for failure,its prudent to do preventive repairs for reliability. THANK YOU VERY MUCH...your time and efforts will not have been wasted! Bruno of twinke74.

I bought this from Grainger in 2020 and it dropped right in;

CENTURY Room Air Conditioner Motor: 3 Speed, 1/6 HP, 1,075 Nameplate RPM, 115V AC, CCWLE

Worked perfect on the 1968 Armstrong TR24-12 year model anyway

Grainger Item# 4MA53
