That's the AGC/SQ and Meter driver...

Below is another area I usualy find a blown cap C44 is the PIN /RF Attenuator that "softens" the response of the otherwise hard-hitting AGC. This is a critical value as it will tend to "distort" the input - in some case of strong overload from another close channel a type of clicking can be heard as the thing tries to "clamp".

C333 tends to help "quiet" the RF gain so it is not so jumpy - but I've added a 223 Disc cap across this near the header that the RF gain uses to enter into the system - to reduce a hum pickup several owners of similar Galaxy front panel designs - heard while adjusting the knobs (any of them) that the board contains - not just this one but on Connex too - any of them that use the vertical or horizontal switch boards.
