I tested all 4 caps on this Railsounds 5.5 board as well as another.  Seven of the 8 caps uF readings were in the ballpark of their listed rating.   The one with open stood out from all the rest.   The comparable cap on the other board read 232 uF.  I am using a digital Fluke with a cap testing function.  

Testing caps in circuit is a bit of a crap shoot, depending on what is connected, you can get all sorts of odd readings.  If the same cap on another board tested OK, then it makes sense.  It's pretty rare for a cap to be completely open without any physical appearance issues.
