Electrolytics Replacement - kmskunk4 - 01-02-2011

I have figured out all the paper capacitor values for the underside of the chassis, my next question is about the electrolytic capacitors on top of the chassis. When I replace those I have noticed that modern electrolytic capacitors have two leads however these old capacitors have what appears to be one "nipple" on the bottom of the shorter capacitor labeled 16mfd and 4 leads on the larger capacitor labeled 8mfd 8mfd 10mfd. how do i go about connecting these new capacitors? Also, I cant seem to find out what the voltage for these capacitors should be.
