You could try putting a 0.1 across the new 1uf, perhaps the new electrolytic is more or less inductive in some way.
I think I read the reason for the 1uf was to hold the voltage on switch off to prevent a frame collapse for a short time, the 0.1 discharged too quickly.
Someone will know the correct reason.
