I decided not to re-stuff the electrolytic caps. Instead I used the method that Bob Andersen describes in his videos on his restoration of a Princess/Debutante. I still have to pull the main board, and when I do, I'll place the 3 electrolytic's from the small E-Cap.

First up were the 2 200uf 160V caps. I used some 220uf 250V 105 degrees Nichicon caps. They were placed on the terminal strip that is next to the Fusistor. One was a direct replacement on the terminal strip while the other came "from" the large 4 section E-Cap. While I was messing around with the terminal strip I replaced the 2 original diodes with 2 1N5408 diodes.





The other 3 that came "from" the large E-Cap was attached to the terminal strip located between the main board and the IF board.





I then removed several wires that were not needed and the "jumpered" the wires where they would have connected to each E-Cap terminal.
