American Bosch 5AC
#12

 Check the parts list page, it's pretty self explanatory what goes inside each block condenser can, it looks like it even gives the colour code for the leads. The filter condenser can has two capacitors inside according to the list, (in fact they may be large paper ones given the age of the set) since it has three leads, one goes to the transformer center tap, one goes to the filament connection on the rectifier, and the third goes to the B+ connection on the terminal strip. The bypass condenser assembly, no doubt the metal box under the chassis, dead center, has four capacitors, a 1 uf, a .01 uf, a .05 uf, and a .25 uf, so there are four wires, the ground end of each is likely soldered to the tin box which is screwed or riveted to the chassis, possibly with a blob of solder as well. One nice thing about this set is that if you want to break down and restuff the filter condenser can, the filter caps can easily be replaced with large poly film capacitors since they are only 4 uf each.
