Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement?

[Alex KL-1]

The metal can is the - terminal. The ones insulated with rubber are the positive ones, with color-coded terminals (for the older cap).
For the new cap, the - terminal is indicated by a --- strip if is radial, or if is a axial cap, the minus terminal is at the side with metal, and the + is where the rubber is located.
In the Internet various sites can explain about it better.

Hi Alex, I think i understand what you mean, The minus leads of the newer capacitors should be grounded to the chassis, as per the original metal 'can' was. And the positive leads would respectively go the wires that were unsoldered.

Simple enough i reckon if i'm not mistaken, What i can't seem to figure out is which capacitor leads into which wire. The original innards of the electrolytic was pure liquid minus the rubber/latex insulation...

Correct about it being colour coded. i do see a red lead. a golden-ish coloured lead. and a silver lead. however there is no indication as to which capacitor 'positive' would go into which lead. And i can't seem to find a schematic for it either. thus my situation this moment.

This cap is very confuse, really...
At first "seems" to be a 10+10+20µF cap, but then the instructions are not so clear... indeed, if it have 3 terminals (in the rubber seal), one can be 10µF, other 10µF, and the remaining be 20µF (the one with less voltage rating***). Now, if have 4 terminals, the four is common to what ones?

Normally these caps all share the can as a negative terminal, but I dunno if is a special part with some internal isolated cap, or a series combination.

If anyone know about this type of cap, will have less guesswork...

***this can help to try to find about the circuit connection; for the 20µF, will go to a circuit with less voltage
