A PITA recap job
#1

Hey guys and Brenda  Icon_lol

   I am sitting here trying to recap a Coronado 3128. It is a cramped little beast but I have done all but the Ecaps. There is a cardboard box with the 3 Ecaps at 4, 4, and 12Mfd. The problem is that I dont know where the wires go. They are color coded but nothing on the Schematic:

Then there is this weird big flat thing that I can only guess is an Ecap too.  I really dont think it is original since it only fits above the chassis and has electrical tape connecting the wires. Any ideas on that?

Oh and should I replace that big chinese cap or is it new enough?
