Yes, I was referring to the taller 330uF ones. They are marked SXF on mine,
and they are brown, but the make does not appear to be marked.

There is no need for you to do that on my behalf. I am confident I have the
right replacement for it. My only problem is getting the solder out of the
holes to fit the replacement. I have a hand held solder sucker and I have
done the thing of adding fresh solder, but still struggling to do it. I am
sure I just need a bit of time and I will manage it though.
