Default Philco Model 60 Smoothing Cap

Hi All

After some success repairing my Hacker GP42 I am back working on my Philco model 60. For a while I have been bothered by the hum that the player emits it's not in any way bad and seems to get better when it's been on for a while but I would like to fix it properly. The schematic shows the smoothing cap (C10) as a 10uf/40uf can which after some extensive googling I can't seem to find available.

What's the generally accepted way to replace these old capacitors I am guessing it's a matter of using two individual electrolytics however I would appreciate someone educating me on how to install them, or if there is a source of "proper" replacements?

Many thanks for any advice offered.
