Well, what you put in there should not make matters much worse. if you have a cap close to the original, put it there, make sure it is a new cap (or known good one). A bit larger won't hurt either.
47uF, 56uF, 68uF....
You don't have a scope, do you.....I mean, when we discussed it first, you did not say that your friend helps you. With him around a scope becomes useful again.
Well, how about that musical signal source? (After you put a good cap in).
