Robert,

Not sure, but I think these are too tall to do that.  They are axial lead
caps.  Maybe if I get radial lead caps, that would work.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Barry:

I obtained mine from Digikey, but all the 33uf capacitors appear to be a
"standard" size. I got around the size by expoxying two caps together, then
expoxying the third on top of the other two thus creating an assembly which
I wired to the base. The base-another nightmare! I didn't waste time
attempting to solder aluminum wires, instead I drilled out the original wire
and drilled/tapped the pins (2/56), inserted brass screws and soldered the
assembly to them!
