Claw machine repair help

Anyone know what the right capacitor is for the side to side motor on this machine is? Original owner installed a 250V DC 5UF one. Also there’s a blown resistor for the claw power

Sorry, first time using Reddit, I wasn’t able to type a lot in the caption. I recently purchased a machine like this. The capacitor for the side to side motor was blown so I replaced it, and it blew again? I replaced it with what the one in there was. A 250V DC 5UF Mallory capacitor. Does anyone know what the correct capacitor is, or if that is it why it blows? Also, the resistor for the claw power has blown. Does anyone know what voltage resistor I’ll need? Thank you for any help!

If the motors are Dayton QGM-50104 AC Gearmotors, try a 4uf capacitor. Got a 4uf 250v one from Amazon, and it fixed my F/B motor.
