Altec Lansing Crossover Cap Values

I recently picked up a pair of Altec Lansing 890C Bolero speakers for a really good price and am wanting to re-cap the crossovers. The printed values on the crossover caps are 6uf and 3uf however the 3 appears to actually measure 30uf. In my searches I have found conflicting information regarding the actual value of the 3uf (or 30uf) cap. I believe I should go with the measured value but does anyone know which is correct?

Go with the value printed in the cap. They will have drifted in spec over the years.

I think the Boleros are crossed somewhere around 3khz. I can't imagine what a 30uf would be doing in there.

This one on ebay looks like 2x 6uf caps and 1x 3uf. Notice how the 3uf is smaller than the 6uf? Definitely a 3uf
