I'm still plugging away at my HV issues, but figured I'd button up everything else.
That 2200 uF bi-polar capacitor does indeed work great in place of the old 1ohm @ 60Hz one. Since it was easy to unmount I decided to restuff it by uncrimping the can.
I used a small knife and flat bladed screwdriver to open up the crimp.
I used a heat gun to soften up all that old tar. Then I drilled a couple small holes and feed through the capacitor leads.
I used a small hammer and slowly, carefully worked my way around the base to fold the aluminum lip back over. I've heard that a hose clamp can help maintain the round shape while crimping too.
Here it is installed back in the set. Definitely tedious, but it does look nice I think.
Very cool that a modern Ohmite resistor is nearly identical to the old one.
