Hello. "removing that gets me to 81"?
The capacitors are in that block and it is filled with tar. They don't look like tube type caps.
If you want you can heat the block and remove the old caps by digging or pushing out the tar after getting the block hot enough. I use an old hair dryer. will be some very small wires that come through the 3 eyelet holes and you need to cut them right where they come out of the holes Then you can install the new y2 caps in the block.
Make sure you note where the wires that solder to the top of the the block go before de-soldering..
I just remembered that Mike/morzh has a how to on this without removing the block if you want to go that route.
