Good points y'all.
I got it repaired, some solder paste helped to restore the amount of solder on the pad (aren't they tiny?), scratched away the trace and soldered it. Checks out fine with the multimeter.
The bad: Well the capaciter in question got tossed, and and it just so happened to be near the top of the bin when I fished it out! I thought those kinds of things weren't supposed to happen? Also, the glue held for about 0 seconds when heat was applied. Live and learn...let's just hope she works fine for another 20 years.
Also, Kudos to kragg for including two extra capaciters in the ones I ordered. I would have preferred axial tantalums, as trying to fit these size caps onto a pad which barely fits it isn't quite optimal, but seeing that the guy on the wikipedia picture did it, I suppose that >I< am the weak link...
ETA:
Since y'all helped, perhaps y'all can fight over who gets this sweet-potato nut crisp I just made. Oh wait, I think I might need it for lunch...in that case, you'll have to settle for the standard 3 cookies and a cool point for your efforts. Perhaps we can tag this topic? I searched before I made it and nothing came up.
