As you know, the first thing to go is the electrolytic capacitors. Here is the first one, a two section after the lip has been pried up. This set has a voltage doubler power supply and a "Hot Chassis" so all of the capacitors have cardboard sleeves.
Here is how it looks close up prying up that lip.
And after you yank the guts out, this is what is left. Note the 62 year old rubber band. It was still elastic!
And here is what is now going inside of the aluminum can.
Almost ready to crimp the can back together. BTW, I tested each can before crimp. I didn't need any more surprises!
More to come...
