If you are concerned about the aesthetics new type caps in the set, there ARE ways to gut the old ones and hide the new in their shell as Bandersen has shown in his videos.
As for your problem, can't be sure but if you DO have the old paper caps in it, it is very likely that C115 is bad, and you will be constantly plagued with problems as long as the old papers are in there.

I replaced all of the "waxies" with film caps but some, as is the case with C115, were replaced with very inexpensive bulk caps I bought as a set on Amazon...Bojack I believe was the claimed brand name. 100 capacitors of varying values and voltages for a little over $10 USD! You get what you pay for I guess. I'll replace the 3-4 "Bojies" I have in there with proper film caps from DigiKey.
