You don't really have to replace it with a 3 lead cap. You just need too find 2 caps with the rating you need and connect them the same way the original was. Just tie the negative leads together and connect to the original location. Many devices used split caps. in power supplys over the years and some still do. That's the way we replaced them because it was easier to keep individual caps. in stock .

You can find multi section caps at Antique Electronic Supply or at many places on the web including eBay. Just look for sites the offer guitar amp parts or DIY parts for High End audio.<p>AL
