Chris,
Hope it is OK.
That is exactly how it came off the TC - it all looked pretty original and
un-tampered with to me.
Looking at the photo I presume that you just mean the orange and black wires
are both crimped to the same bit of copper that connects to the points
terminal post. Usually I think you are right, they have seperate connectors
each so that they can be replaced independantly.
If you snip off the orange wire from that terminal , then the spade
connector on a replacement condenser should just slip under the terminal
spring in the normal way
