The two capacitors on the left are the replacements I got from Mouser. The two on the right (made in 1974) are the original capacitors. One I was able to find an exact replacement for. The other I increased the voltage and capacitance some so I could get the same size package for easy installation. Picture of capacitor seal failure. ( 39K)
