Yes, its the main filter cap. After getting a better look at it I think it blew because the one lead had drooped slightly and touched the metal bottom of the cabinet. I also figured with the IF I just don't have the money to send it to someone professionally and I also just don't have the proper equipment to tune it perfectly so I thought if I somehow made it worse its something that could be remedied in the future when I do have such equipment.
