Philco model 630 capacitor replacement
#15

Terry,
Not completely sure what you are trying to say here, but then again i am extremely new at this. What i did was replace the three section can with three separate capacitors all of which are 10mfd. The old can had what i assumed were three positive leads all located in the center of the can, and one assumed negative lead located on the outer edge of the can. What i did is used the assumed negative lead on the outer edge as my negative lead connection for all 3 new capacitors, I then gave the positive ends their respective wires as they were originally on the center of the old capacitor. Is this right? What I figured was that all three sections of the old capacitor shared a common negative lead but was split up for different components on the positive. I hope you can understand this I have very very limited knowledge in electronic lingo as well as schematics so I am kind of going based on the old wires in the chassis.
Thanks for the understanding.
