Teac CR unit replacement with discreet components?

[bamavette]

I am refurbishing a Teac reel to reel and one of the CR units (400VAC, 0.1uF cap + 120R resistor) has a lead broken off and I need to replace it. I believe they are spark arrestors/snubbers. This particular one is on one of the reel motors.
I have 630V film caps and 1W, 120R resistors. Can I just put them in series and use that to replace it?

As long as the 100n capacitor is an X2, (self healing) type, yes.
It is usually used for interference suppression.

Y-class fail open-circuit, which is what you want here surely?, otherwise the resistor could catch fire if the cap shorts. Make the resistor a fusible type for extra safety?
