"1969". How's that for a plain-and-simple date code? Can't get much clearer
than that...

My guess - this has an AC motor for the deck. The capacitor is the start /
run cap for the motor.

The ratings are right there in english as well, it's a 2 section cap
consisting of a 1uF and 2uF capacitor in the same can, both rated 250V
AC, so non-polar electrolytics. You can replace them with two separate
capacitors.

Did you miss the 1.0uF, 2.0uF and 250V in English ?

I imagine that's a motor run cap.

nothing to translate.
it's all there.
2.0 Uf 250 WV (working volts) AC (NON polarized)
if you ask me, it looks like a bellast cap/
