40-150 Update
#5

It looks like this may be a hack job, Larry. The replacement side was done correctly, but now, it seems to me, the can has both sections tied together, and it's still in circuit.

With the pins tied this way, the can has one section, at 28uF. The two sections are connected in parallel.

On the other hand, are you sure this is the original filter can? If not, the tech may have had a dual section cap, that would accommodate this application, when he tied the two sections together. If that is the case, it was a correct fix.

Nonetheless, you know where to go, from here.
