Last evening I was snooping around in this recently acquired 41-280 chassis and found the one large double electrolytic cap tucked in the corner of the chassis. It is a large black cardboard version with 40 and 50 microfarad markings on it.

As I looked at the schematic from both Rider's and Beitman's (they are the same), I read the schematic to say they should be a 12 uf and an 8 uf. (# 62 and #27) Am I correct? The one in it now looks like, from the soldering, it has been replaced at some time. So I'm seriously doubting it is correct. Also it has 3 red leads into it as well as the one black ground. I usually replace doubles or triples with separate caps so I'm a little confused why there would be 3 red positives going into a double cap. Are they tied together inside? If so, why would that be?

Thanks Philco guys.
