Nikko Alpha II Capacitor question

I have mint Alpha II that I am recapping. One of the large power supply capacitors- 10,000 uf  63 wv is leaking. The problem is they have three leads. I cannot find replacement capacitors with three leads and am not astute enough to devise a Plan B. Can anyone weigh in on a replacement that may be available or how to convert these to 2 lead?

You should find that 2 of them are shorted on the PCB, so just use either.

New caps are going to be a lot smaller so won't need the same physical mounting.

Also, check the temp rating of your replacements. Make sure you get same or higher temp rating. More temp = longer life.
