This is the one I mentioned in my direct.  Unless you have to remove the 
front panel anyway, it is easily the hardest capacitor in the set to change.

Actually, they are rectangular.  But they are pretty easy to rebuild.  All 
that you need is a 150-200 watt soldering iron and a good desoldering set or 
station.  The metalized polypropylene capacitors that Fair sells are ideal 
for the rebuild.
