As it turns out, you (and just about everyone else who
chimed in) were
right - the repair was easy and nothing else in the PS was damaged.
I found a power supply at my local junque place with the right cap and
used it to replace my blown one. The /// is back up and running fine.
It'll be off to its new owner shortly.
See, it wasn;'t too bad, now was it?
Hopefully next time you hav a fault you'll consider component level
repair...
