So, is it just me or are the modern day large value capacitors usually "too short" to be used in the factory location? And, I wonder if the layout of the vintage chassis was such that the larger caps (read longer length) would work? I know if you are replacing a .5 uFD @ 400 WVDC, it just may have been held in with a clamp! I did an Admiral that had some capacitors held in with a clamp. I didn't rebuild the original. But you can believe I saved them.
But again, nice, nice work. I love not only the look of the rebuilt electrolytic capacitors but also the rebuilt paper capacitors.
