Here's a couple of pictures that show how I am mounting the new electrolytics. I still have three more caps to replace in this area... Looks like it may be best to relocate the two 160uf to a spot just below the rear of the tuner. Lots of room there. These are physically much larger than the rest of the caps. Still deciding which way to go.
For the inrush limiter I used a "CL-80" that came from Mouser. It is rated at 3 amps. The original limiters always break very easily and the one in my set had already been changed at some point. You can see the CL-80 to the right in the first picture below. I'll let y'all know how it works out.

I have a Fisher 800-B in my office and a 400 in the family room. One restored, the other not. Both sound great in daily use.

Phil, I really like my 800-C! Mine has been restored as well. I have always liked the way the 800-B looks with the dual dial scales and the blue signal strength indicator tubes.
