Anyone have a China Gate PCB they can look at?

Here's a picture of the board: http://www.ggdb.com/Picture.aspx?c=Coin-Op&s=Arcade&y=1988&vid=534&p=7977

Directly below the edge connector is a capacitor (the short dark blue one, not the three long light blue). On my board, all the remains is one of the cap's legs.

Can someone look at their PCB and tell me what kind of cap that is? I think it's the same as those found above and below the ribbon connectors, but I'm not going to blow my board up finding out I was wrong!

Let me know!
 
I do have a "Sai Yu Gou Ma Roku" board somewhere which is a clone of China Gate, i'll have a look for it.

That cap might just be a smoothing cap like the others near the ribbon connectors probably are. If the two legs are connected to ground and +5 volts on those three caps then you can be confident in using the same value cap, or better yet just leave it empty.

EDIT
Found my PCB, and yes the cap below the edge connector is a smoothing cap as are the 2 near the ribbon connectors. You can replace your broken one with the same type as the other two.
