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.
