Plenty of wax, presumably from the capacitor. Question is, can I just
solder in a new one to replace the old,
yes
and if so, what?
0.1µF 750V

yester-Capacitor/1070659712 630V should be enough for any mains
application.
In other
words, is there a modern replacement?
Yes.
Thanks!
Should be enough,[1] yes, but at this point in the cirtuit - mains input
- a capacitor specifically rated as a mains filter capacitor should be
used.
[1] It isn't actually: 230 x 1.05 x 2 x 1.414 = 683V
