It can be pretty loud: a large co-axial speaker (2 in one, I think, wide-band and a twitter) and at least 15 Watts.
I was surprised by 30V for a run cap. For a start cap, perhaps. Although today ones are also at least 125V.
The tell-tell sign is the centrifugal switch: if it has one, then it is a start cap, and the motor has aux winding; if there is none, then it is a run cap.
Also start caps are usually electrolytic whereas the run caps are film caps, as they have to be rated higher in continuous duty current.
Yours is nonPol electrolytic, therefore it is a start cap. Does the motor have the switch?
I worked on a Perpetuum Ebner turntable in my Grundig; it had a start cap.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
