Okay, I was wrong!
#1

After extensive lab work incorporating a stethoscope, I determined that there indeed was a mechanical thump, and sound, and that it is the power transformer in the right module, and not the power caps! The other caps I put in mus have altered the in rush of current, giving me different charactaristics, than I had with the original set. When you put a finger on the tranny, you can feel the bump at power up. I have 3 parts modules and I better get a soldering iron I guess. Thank you for the advice guys and sorry I gave bad info and had you all over the place.
