Here's mine. Tacked on electrolytics. Added on top of the existing factory can with the original still being attached. Man I hate that! This is probably the 30th set I've seen this on in the last 3 years. Always sends me scanning the schematic for a cap I may have missed....grrrr! Plus, why add on to an already wasted "lytic"? Just noticed this same issue on this 116B I just acquired.

Mind you, these are older lytics, not recently replaced.
