RCA 9X571 Bullhorn - Electrolytic Capacitor
#2

I have one, but have never been into it. It's an AC-DC set; all American five, I believe. While that exact electrolytic was available at one time, those electrolytic capacitors in cans are long gone. If you want to keep the appearance of the set, with the filter cap can there, the easiest way out of that is to simply disconnect the old terminals on the original one, and replace each section with a single section of the right rating.

But, if you are determined for original appearance (which no one can see), go ahead and re-stuff the old filter cap can. I can't think of a better way to waste time and effort, however, it's your project.
