Radio Shack won't have anything lke that - their parts selection stinks, plus I have yet to run across a clerk that actually knows anything about parts. Getting to be almost as bad as some of the chain auto parts places. 18 uF is a capacitor value, 220 VAC is its operating voltage. Other numbers are probably the manufacturer's part number.

If you're near a big city, try a place that re-winds electric motors. Otherwise, an industrial supply place, either local or mail order, is probably your only other option. An electrical supply house or an air conditioning repair place might have something similar. Any idea why it fried? Capacitors have been known to self destruct, but it doesn't happen very often. Overvoltage condition, maybe? Keith
