I'm rebuilding a Heathkit W-2 monoblock set (separate power and signal chassis). The capacitor on the signal chassis is a dual section 25uf/25uF @ 450VDC unit that appears to be ~1" in diameter. Screw holes for the can-cap twist are 1 7/16" apart. See front chassis on picture above.

Sometimes a fresh set of eyes helps. I know I've missed parts that mates found easily ;)

Cheers!
