How important is this cap's value (Sony 8-301W)?

[Phil Nelson]

After replacing about two dozen electrolytics, my Sony 8-301W portable works great, except that I can't bring in the horizontal frequency (using frequency adjuster R4 and the horiz. hold control).

Capacitor C34 is 1mfd/12v. I couldn't find a 1-mfd electrolytic, so I used the closest I could find, a 3.3mfd/16v. Just wondering if the value of that cap is that critical?

Here's the horizontal portion of the schematic:

I highlighted in yellow five caps that I replaced in this section, including C34.

Here's the full schematic:

If it's important to use that value, perhaps someone could tell me where to find a 1mfd/12v electrolytic. Mouser didn't seem to have any.

If 3.3 mfd is close enough for C34, then I'll start looking for other causes.

Thanks!
