Capacitor replacement question
#8

Ok so I do use 2 caps of the same value and just wire the negs together.
There are too many ecaps in this radio, Icon_lol

The Ecaps with just one wire coming out are grounded to the can right?
Or could I ground it to the chassis?

This radio is in bad condition. the one ecap on top was I guess a wet ecap and there is a hole in it from something eating away the tin.
the other has no hole but the insides are busting out of the bottom. many of the caps wax had bubbled out and both dial lamps are blown out.

Glad I didn't plug it in, Icon_lol
