replacing a dual Ecap with 2
#31

Yup, thats what you need though standard modern values will be 47uf @ 160v, 33uf @ 160v, and 22uf @ 25v or 50v. You can get the exact values from some suppliers but the standard values will be the lowest prices. When you have them we will work on installing them. For now do remove the old one or cut any of the wires unless you are absolutly sure which one is what.

OK Kirk, all of the negative leads tie together and attach to where the black wire from the original cap is attached. The positive of the 20uf or 22uf, which ever you bought, goes to where the blue wire went which should be pin 8 on the 35L6 tube. The 40uf or 47uf, which ever you bought, goes to where the red wire was attached. The two 30uf or 33uf will be attached to the where the yellow wires went. One to each of those yellow wires, let me know if this makes any sense or not.
