TH-4 Condenser
#4

Welcome to the Phorum!
Icon_wave

As the guys have mentioned, you can replace with two 22uF caps with their negative lead connected together.  Here's an example of a similar (although this one had 3 caps instead of 2) situation where the new electrolytics are inserted into the gutted paper tube.  usually some warming of the old capacitor with a heat gun and then some pulling and digging will get the guts extracted.  See: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthrea...8#pid35928

The new electrolytics were pushed further into the tube than you see in the photo and then sealed with hot glue. the three positive leads are not shown but exit from the top side of the tube.
