What's wrong with the main electrolytic if it powered-up ok on the Variac?

Before you make any further decisions, electrolytics or not, I'd make 100% sure that pickup head is in GWO (it looks like a 3016?) as these are now almost impossible to replace.

Despite searching I can't (yet) find a precise date for it, but it'll be from around 1959/60.
