Marantz 2330 B Filter Capacitor help please

I have 4 , 6800uf 100v Rubycon capacitors. They have 4 solder lugs, 1 neg and 3 pos. My 2330 B has red ,white and a ground plate. The red goes to pos, the white goes to neg as neutral but I don't know where to solder the ground plate . I need a common wire. Can someone please help me? Maybe a pic showing how to add a common wire from the caps. I am replacing the old dual caps with these. Thank you so very much.

I'm a newbie my friend, only been a member for around 24hrs actually, but, I wanted to let you know that I saw a thread on a 2275 restoration where a guy was given some great advice on manufacturing a copper bar in a way that will eliminate a significant amount of soldering and produce a very clean install. I'm not sure if the design is applicable for your unit but wanted to share in case it was. If you read that thread, along with the participants, you might locate the exact information needed. Good Luck!
 
The 2330B has 'Dual' filter capacitors, that is, two caps in each can. Be sure you install the new ones correctly.
There are many ways to do this, here is one method.

Tom, I have heard of "stuffing" these dual filter caps with new caps, but have never had a unit that needed it. I'm just wondering what the black stuff is that the caps seem to be embedded in. Are those the original cans, opened up and cleaned out that were used to stuff the new caps in? Thanks!

On the cap with the positive terminal wired to the positive supply, the negative terminal will go to ground. On the cap with the negative terminal wired to the negative supply, the positive terminal goes to ground.
 
Randy has that lever he pulls and that black stuff comes out. Its a secret though, so Shhh

You want to get rid of the heat, so keep that in mind if your contemplating some unknown filler.
