The can capacitor on this radio has gone bad. I have never repaired one of these capacitor before and i want to use individual caps can you tell me exactly what capacitor i would need in modern eq. The old capacitor is a 32+32+2 uf 350VDV 425v surge if you could help please on what i need i would be most grateful thanks

32 + 32 uF 500V can caps are readily available. The odd 2uF 350v can be subbed by 2.2uF 350V, also readily available and small enough to lose easily under the chassis.
