>>>It currently has an .005 1000 volt electrolytic that is at least 40 years old. That needs to go.
There is no such thing as 0.005uF 1000V electrolytic.
It is either a paper, or ceramic, or a mica.
If you have desoldered it (and have not damaged leads/case entry spot), just measure it. A mica won't move the value at all and can be put back; a paper cap will drift a whole lot and should be discarde.
An electrolytic...like I said, it is like the Unicorn. It does not exist.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
