Crosley 181 capacitor enquiry
#1

http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/do...003310.pdf

I was given a Crosley 181 from an old friend and am new to restoration and am looking for advice regarding replacing duo caps. This radio has three duo caps and I have never come across this in my brief time since I took up this hobby. 

The first pic is of an .006 / .05 cap #37 and #38 on the schematic and the second pic is of #19 and #20, a .1 .1 mfd cap. Someone has replaced some of the electrolytics and other caps in the past so I can’t locate the third duo cap #13 and #14, a .02 .02 cap.

Both of the ones shown have a metal lug with one soldered to the chassis and the other soldered to a terminal strip. I don’t know the significance of this lug.

I haven’t read anything about these types of caps and hoping someone can advise me on how to properly replace these.
