It's actually two separate, unconnected caps. One is the doubler input cap, IIRC.
The first time I ever replace one of those, I (mistakenly) thought the red lead coming out one end went with the black lead coming out the other end, and proceeded to wire it accordingly.
The dang set came on and worked, but with humungous hum bars and hourglassing.
I quickly corrected the goof.
