Philco 46-1203

Jeff,
You are right, you likely will not find a dual cap replacement although there are some multicaps out there. Most folks either put in the two caps separately, or gut the old cap can or cardboard sleeve and restuff it with the new caps to look like the old one. Here are a few pics of one that I did on a 42-322.
Original in the chassis:

To get the guts out of this one I tried heating with a heat gun but did not get too far so then carefully drilled it out using a bit quite a bit smaller than the diameter of the cap and doing a drill/chip process to get the guts out. Anyway the cap with 3 individual caps going into it.

Be sure to insulate leads with heat shrink tubing. Some folks will then refill the cap sleeve with wax, hot glue, or some other filler to look like the original. I left mine unfilled so I could get back into it if there were problems. Then I refastened the cap to the chassis with the metal retaining band. Yours may or may not have that.

The other paper caps in your set can also be restuffed by heating the cap with a heat gun or hair dryer and sliding the old cap out. There are threads on this Phorum and even some YouTube videos showing people doing that. Some restuff, others just replace. Depends on your level of interest in retaining the originality of the set.
