 ! Mounting Replacement Capacitors 
  
-Most often, many of the electrolytic capacitors needing replacement are of the multi-section can type. These caps usually plug into sockets, and protrude from the top of your (pre-)amp chassis --- each aluminum can actually contain several (two to four) separate capacitors. These capacitors are no longer manufactured (well, there are some manufactured in Mexico, but their quality is highly suspect), so generally one needs to replace them with individual capacitors.

 (Another alternative is provided by ZackEngineering, who makes replacement multi-section capacitors from modern miniturized electrolytics.) (Yet another alternative is FrontierCapacitor, who, reportedly, will "rebuild" your multi-section can caps for you --- removing the old guts and replacing them with modern caps.) 
 (And yet another place which seems to be custom-building multi-section caps: [askjanfirst.de|http://www.askjanfirst.de/eindex.htm].)
