Have you tried a reading from the +ve terminal of the 32uF section to +ve terminal of the 16uF section, in ohms? (and not using ground at all).

In times past I've had an iffy cap which read a little high on a capacitor meter from ground to 16uF +ve & ground to 32uF +ve. Turns out the cap was resistive from the 16uF section to the 32uF section.

I'm wondering if you're reading the 16uF plus (through a resistive path) a bit of the 32uF section, and vice versa.

The solution for (in my case) a very early black DAC90, was to re-stuff the original can. When in use the radio when from a gentle hum initially to a speedboat once warm(!)
