41-608 code 122 Capacitor Questions
#11

Yes, of course:  you do not have to rebuild the cap. You might just clip the wires, leave the cap just for looks, and then find where the wires go and solder the new caps (probably axial or radial aluminum cans, or even film caps if the capacitance is in single uF) right to those places, as long as they provide good solder-post function. Many do exactly that. Of course, the places where the cap should be soldered might not prove very convenient; then using extra soldering posts and wires will help.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
