So I purchased this vintage organ at a thrift store, and I really love it.
Unfortunately, I accidentally left it running without an amp plugged in, and apparently this has caused a capacitor to blow.
I'll start off by saying I have very minimal knowledge about electronics. I've done some basic modifying of electronics, so I have basic soldering knowledge, but that's about it.
I've read through a lot of the stickies on the forum, and have learned quite a bit. Although, I still have some questions.
The capacitor has a capacitance of .05 uF and a voltage rating of 600wv. I'm assuming I'll have to look for something with .047uF capacitance

In the pictures, you should see two 1/4" output jacks. I initially didn't know what went wrong. The guts of the capacitor were touching one of the output jacks, causing it to short out and not produce sound. I removed it, and now there is sound. I have not turned it on since, in fear of damaging it further.
In summary, I'm pretty sure I know what kind of capacitor to buy. I'm just unsure how to solder it. One side remained in tact, so I can use that for a reference, but I'm unsure where to solder the other side.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The photos aren't the best, I can supply more if needed.
Thanks!
