RE: DIY-HIFI Supply still sells Rubycon caps that go into this amp...

You'll fix it. I usually don't try to track down hum with a scope, the reason is that I usually see it everywhere. There are some exceptions.

I mentioned before about jumping in electrolytics at the TV shop I worked, even with the power on. Volt meter and that cap, with jumper leads, was the most used diagnostic tool at the shop, followed by a scope. The value isn't that important, it was about 100uf, 450 volts that we used for just about anything. It would tell us in a second if electrolytic was the problem. All it needed to do was reduce the problem, to tell us what to replace.
