The wirewounds fail... that is pretty common. As for the 16 MFD condenser, that would most likely not have caused a problem... what is the voltage rating of the 2 16 MFD condensers? When you put 2 16s in series like that, the capacitance is 8 MFD, but the VOLTAGE is the sum of the voltage of each individual condenser, so if he only had say, 250 volt, but needed at least 450 volt, he put the two 16s in series to have 8 MFD at 500VDC, which would work.
