I'm posting this thread as a service to other Canton speaker owners that want to recap and like me have found that the Wego caps that Canton used don't have their µF values printed on the cap.
Measuring the old caps isn't always useful as some of the caps were made to specific non-standard values (such as 120µF) and the ones that I've measured have been universally high (such as 139µF for that 120µF cap) so one doesn't really know which way to guess.
So I've been scouring the web for info and here is a list of what I've found so far, mostly from people posting in German forums that got a reply from Canton. The number is the part number printed on the caps.
Note that when reading Canton schematics electrolytic caps are identified in the parts list as "Kondens.El xxx" and foil caps as "Kondens.Fo". Foil caps id's as "ITT" are the oval vellow bodied caps used in early speakers such as the "LE" series. Where the info is available the lead spacing on foil caps is included. There is also a "Kondens. EV" identification that I haven't quite figured out yet.

These are all that I've found so far. As I find more or if anybody contributes info to the thread I'll edit it into the list.
edit 24 May 2020: Now that I have built up a fair amount of Canton speaker schematics, and since questions have come up in the speaker forum about coil values, I am taking advantage of the Subscriber privilege of being able to edit posts and will be adding crossover coils below this note.
The coil values in Canton crossover schematics are actually easy to figure out because the values are incorporated into the item nomenclature ("Benennung") shown in the parts list.
The first number I believe to be either the coil height or diameter but I can not confirm that yet.
The second number is the mH value.
The 3rd number is the wire diameter in mm (and not DC resistance as I had previously thought).
Coils are known as a "Drossel" (choke) in the schematic parts list. Coil names that start with "FK" are "Ferrit-Glockenkern" = ferrite-bell-core coils. All others without a letter prefix are air-core coils. I will be listing the air-core and ferrite-core items separately for clarity. There are also coils id'd as "SK", denoting "StiftKernspulen" = ferrite-bar coil and "PK" are "Ferrit-Pilzkern" = ferrite-mushroom-core coils
Note that when a comma appears in a number in a German schematic it is the same as a decimal point in a USA number.

Fantastic! It just so happens that I have 2 pair of GL 260's, and a friend another pair, all waiting for just that key info that you just delivered, before we can re-cap them. Thank you very much. I'll add the 1228 values to the list asap.
