Thanks for your replies.

I've taken the photo oriented as suggested with the pin on it's own in the 12 o'clock position. The red wire is coming from the capacitor, and yes, that red resistor is in parallel with it. What type of capacitor should I use to replace it / stuff the original box with?

I think the resistor should be 2K6 but measures 3k7. Does that matter? All the resistors seem to be in the right sort of range, but still quite wide of the mark from what the colours would suggest. Is this something I should be concerned about?
