    I believe that this is the run capacitor, which is one of the most common items to fail on a central air-conditioner or heat pump...

    You could build a homemade air compressor with that unit assuming it’s still in decent working order.

    the condensers have start capacitors, none I’m aware of have run caps at least in the US.

    If I built my own air compressor, I'd want one out of a 5-ton unit!

    I think the whole system was operational, but my best guess is that the condensate pump overflowed at some point, which caused the indoor coil to rust out and start leaking...
