Pics

OK, here's a cap I did today for a Zenith.

First pic shows the caps in place, hardest part is figuring out how to best arrange them.
I was lucky on this one and was able to get all 4 inside the can, sometimes they just wont fit and you have to settle for 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4 and mount the last one under the chassis.

Second pic shows the wires coming out the bottom, I drill a very small hole near the lug, wrap it around and solder it.
I added a second ground wire because I wasn't comfortable with the current of all 4 caps passing through the one very small lead.

Last pic shows the can glued back on.
Can you tell it's been restuffed, sure, but only if you are looking for it.

Finding a can cap with all the correct values that's also new enough to be worth bothering with is near impossible.

AES has some made for Guitar Amps that might work but they are really expensive.
