Yup. Two of the them if memory serves me correctly. If you have basic soldering skills and the tools necessary to remove the cluster, it's an easy and cheap fix. Be sure to go with 25WVDC caps for replacements. Or maybe it was 50s. I just remember that the original caps are marginal as far as the voltage rating, which is one of the reasons why they fail. You can go up a notch with the replacements and should.
Easily found at Radio Shack as I recall, too.
