Hi,

I've got a complete capcitor replacement kit for a 1960 Wurlitzer
jukebox amp, but on the amp there are two 'combined' capacitor units
(metal tubes) and the kit i've got has the separate capacitors. Any
idea how these would be wired? One tube had four caps internally with
four pins on the bottom, & the other has three internal caps with
three pins.

The combined capacitor units usually have a key to the bottom terminal
connections stamped on their sides.

For example, the 40 uF cap has a square near the corresponding bottom
terminal, the 20 uF cap has a triangle, etc.

The negative terminals of all of the capacitors is usually connected to the
metal shell and outer tab terminals on the bottom.

One slick trick involves gutting the metal can and slipping the varioius
individual capacitors inside.

You mean the can is common (negative) ?

I'm slightly puzzled why they have supplied a 3 section cap as a
replacement for a four section unless 2 of the 4 section pins were
commoned.

There are two 'multi-section' caps on the amp. One is 3 section & the
other is 4 section, and I have the separate individual caps to replace
them.
