ART Digital MPA II - Need help!

Hey everybody! This is my first post here, hope it's not a no-no to ask so much of you all right off the bat!

Anyway, I brought home a used ART digital MPA II last night and tested it out. It worked fine, but later when I went to swap out the tubes, I noticed a blown capacitor sticking out like a sore thumb. It looks bad and I don't want to turn this thing on again until it's been addressed.

Search as I may, I can't find any info or good leads on a schematic to find out what I need to replace it with. I was able to find one for the MPA Gold but that's as close as I could get. At any rate, I want to replace this capacitor (c128) and get to experimenting with this unit. Does anybody have either a schematic or experience with these that might be able to help?

Any insights would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

I get the blown cap now, wow....its totally blown out.
Schematics are hard to find on this MPA although the VLA is out there. In this pic looks like a resistor is missing too? Maybe a different generation of MPAII?
