I got a partial order of capacitors in from Mouser and thought I would try my hand at stuffing on of the e-caps . The one I choose is mounted under the chassis and is not visible and very easy to get at. The cap is an aluminum can but is covered in a cardboard tube. Just two 40mf at 250v. I pulled the cap off of the chassis and the tube came off easily as it was just stuck on with a bit of black goop. The schematic and the cardboard tube both indicate that these caps are both 40mf but embossed on the aluminum can are 100mf and 30mf. I just thought that this is a bit odd. Anybody else run into this ? I will be replacing the caps with what is on the schematic. Just curious.
