So, I am doing a Cap kit on my Asteroids board and I pulled a cap (C25) off the board that doesn't match specifications.
I first noticed due to the fact that there wasn't a matching cap in the kit I got from Bob Roberts. Double checked the picture on Bob's website:

Then confirmed by checking the Asteroids manual.
The cap (C25) I pulled was a 4.7uf 50v, while specs (Asteroids manual) says that it should be a 1uf 50v (which is what Bob Roberts says it should be as well).
All the caps looked like they were original, and by that I mean they were covered in years of dust
So, two questions: 1. Any chance my board is different and I should replace it with a like 4.7 uf or go ahead and stick in the 1 uf? and 2. Assuming the 4.7 uf was installed by someone else at some point, could this have been causing/caused some yet unknown damage?
