Philco C-1608 Issues
#19

My preference is to leave the old can in-place, cut the lead wires close to the body of the can. Find a nearby area to install a 3 lug with ground terminal strip to mount the caps on. Often there is a nearby hole existing that can be used for the terminal strip. Pre-mount the caps, carefully on the terminal strip, often with the strip out. Install, and wire. This does require some planning for a workman like job but so does gutting an old can, struggling and installing leads into the cap.

Or,

Since you now have separate caps look where to old cap leads went and caps do not have to be close together, there may be a nearby common positive and connections for negatives so no terminal strip needed.

Just do not put the caps near the high impedance audio input or anywhere close to the RF section...

YMMV
