Fixed! I finally got back to this set just now and picked the right capacitor first time. It was C189 which was hardly a capacitor at all. Thanks for the suggestions.

The set is also reported as having occasional field collapse which I've not seen. I suspect this is a dry joint so I'll resolder everything in the field scan area (and around the LOPT since this is reputed to suffer dry joints).
