Sorry, I meant a capacitance meter of course.
The result for all of them were very close to the specifications, except the
one I replaced. That one was showing higher readings after I held it my
hand for a while. But I guess that is not much an indication. However
replacing it did change the symptoms slightly but did not fix the problem.

Sound like a cap that is in the power supply. See if you can locate a
rectifier, or perhaps the four diodes that make a rectifier and
replace. A faulty rectifier can often stress a cap to the point of
failure.
