The thing with capacitor changing like this is that one mistake and you're chasing your posterior.
Replace 'That' capacitor, check for any shorts in the wiring and then hit it with full mains. Pre-war capacitors are generally not as bad as the 'Hunts' variety.
If you're a coward, use a variac. If you're a proper man, just go for it...
You may have a pleasant surprise!

If we've always had that, why is the car boot open? You aren't smuggling in another old TV are you...?
