Pfft, it doesn't even LOOK bad. My brothers old Tek 'scope had a bunch of low voltage FP style caps in it, one of which had swollen so much that some rubber was pushing it's way through the holes in the bottom along with some of the electrolyte. :p
You're lucky though, I picked an old Sparton 21" set out of the trash that had a shorted can not long ago. It was the first one in the power supply chain, so it shorted the rectifier long enough to melt the pins internally and crack the glass. Luckily that and a few black beauties was all that had gone wrong, it works fine now.
