I've started working on my 40-150 and found this set of electrolytics under the chassis. The parts list and schematic call for one 16mfd - 200v, and one 12mfd - 350v, both residing in a topmount can. However, one side is disconnected and replaced with a pair of 10mfd - 500v caps and the other side has all the pins soldered together. I figured it was a hack job until I searched the internet for info on repairing a 40-150 and saw two other chassis with virtually the identical setup underneath. What does piggy-backing a pair of lytics like this accomplish?
