Thanks for all the suggestions. I've pulled the PCB out and the
positive terminals at both ends of each of the three capacitors are
directly connected to one another by a trace on the underside of the
PCB. Given this, is there any reason I shouldn't replace these with a
more conventional 1300uF 75V electrolytic?
Thanks,

Firslty, it could result lower inductace in the
circuit, or perhaps no
_common_ inductance between 2 circuits (charge and discharge ;-))
connected to the capacitor.
I've seen these also--and they were manufactured
right up through the
90s that I know of. Perhaps browsing one of the big manufacturers'
catalogs (NCC, for example) would yeild more information.
Another possibility is that it makes PCB layout simpler, but I think
that's unlikely.
I've always been puzzled as to whether these should be called axial
or radial leads.
