Replacing original caps with new Spragues. Two questions (total novice here):
Do the two larger filter caps have to be facing opposite directions to be hooked up in series as shown on schematic? Stupidly pulled them without noting orientation. Also, the kit I purchased from ebay came with 6 smaller caps. Where do these go? This amp has already been recapped, and I can't make out the values on the replacements. The other thing I'm not certain about is that some of the caps that appear to be replacements have three leads, one to ground and one each to various points in the preamp circuits (I think). Could these be replaced with two separate caps each having the same value as the original? Excuse my being a complete tool; any input would be real helpful.
