Restuffing electrolytics

It wasn't much fun, but it's done

I was able to reuse 3 of the old tubes, but the tar filled one was just too nasty. So I fabricated one from scratch.
Luckily, I had an old gift wrapping paper tube that was exactly the same diameter.





I reused the old wax to seal them.


I applied some yellow ochre acrylic paint and created a water slide decal.


Here's the final product.


Restuffing an old tube. I made a point of using the same colored wire so the tube legend is correct.


All four are finally done! I think the rest of the set will go fast now.
