[Hallicrafters] electrolytic caps for the HT37

Am preparing to put my HT37 on the air and based on the many excellent
suggestions I have received from members of this list I have ordered solid
state rectifiers to replace the hollow state tubes and also plan to install
new electrolytic capacitors in the power supplies.

I am having a problem in finding a suitable replacement unit for the dual
metal can cap listed as C79A 60mfd/475vdc and C79B 40mfd/475vdc.

Believe this metal cap is the old twist lock type.

Does anyone out there have a direct drop-in replacement for the above dual
cap???

If not, does anyone have info on where to obtain such as rascal???

I haven't been into the rig yet so I don't know if there is enough room
underneath the chassis to simply cut the leads from the metal can cap and
install separate capacitors in its place.

Perhaps some folks have done it this way...any ideas on this thought????

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
