Sure, with a charged capacitor tucked neatly between my fingers
I know what happened here. DuMont caps are the gooeyest things in the world, and my bet is that he didn't realize that the goo on the wires isn't exactly something that promotes solder adhesion. The filter cap connections are fine, along with anything that had a wire connection. When reconnecting everything, I just sanded the old chassis wires with some folded 400 grit paper pulling it forward over the wire, and used some flux. All of the connections are nice and solid now.
With the BANG I heard, I would have guessed that the result would be obvious, but it's not.....at least not to the extent that I've examined it. The chassis is on the bench now, but attending a wedding and getting the old van ready to pass state inspection took precedence this weekend
