The large yellow capacitor is this: Sprague TVA1706
It's installed in such a way that it's writing is facing the chassis body. However, I can just barely make it out. So yes, it has 3 capacitors.
They are 10, 12 and 22. They are higher than spec'd but as I understand things, that's generally ok. (Edit: or not...?) Having too small would be a problem.
