Single Phase Motor Centrifuge Switch Replacement

Hello:

I have a question with respect to a motor belonging to an old coffee grinder I am currently working on.

It's a single phase 220v/1450 RPM 1/2 or 3/4 HP (?) motor with a squirrel cage rotor, main and auxiliary windings and a start capacitor, originally using a centrifuge switch for the the auxiliary winding.

I have measured the current with the motor running idle with no load and the value obtained was 2.50 amperes.

I disconnected the centrifuge switch and started the motor by manually connecting the auxiliary winding/capacitor for a just a second once powered on to be able to measure the current just before the centrifuge disconnects (would this be the peak starting current?) and the value measured was 10.0 amperes.

My specific question to the forum is about the starting mechanism, which I'd like to replace (it's broken and no replacement parts are available) but I'm at odds as to what to use.

I have come across two options:

1. an amperometric relay
2. a voltimetric (sp?) relay

I'd be very obliged to receive any input with regard to this matter.
Thanks in advance.
