Zenith 25EC58 - won't turn on

Yeah, that big oval oil cap is totally shorted - you can see it even with an ohm meter - nearly 0 ohms, dead short.

I just bought a NOS Quasar replacement at the exact value 3.5uF - 440VAC, but how critical is the capacitance for this - I see lots of 3uF or 4uF - 440VAC motor start capacitors around - would that sub for it if this old Quasar one doesn't check out?

And I replaced all the 22-5001 caps first thing back when I got this TV in 2016.
