Hit a little snag, but maybe it is a blessing in disguise.
One cap had the base it twist-locked to broken (they twist-lock to an insulating base riveted to the chassis), and when I extracted it in order to reform the base went to pieces altogether (I was hoping to glue it back together).
Well, from the sch I realized the cap is a non-polar type (BTW the capacitance is still very close to the spec).
Thing is, a non-polar cap cannot be reformed.
So then I do not have to re-install it.
I bought just now the same (100uF 100V) non-polar and it will solder very well exactly where the wires that came to it come from. So....it is a non-issue, just have to get it in the mail.
I ordered from Parts Express. Shipping is low, I ordered 3, everything is about $7.50.
