I can fit new caps inside the cans, so it'll look origional. Sucks the design didn't hold up with time - it's pretty neat.

I have to attack a front end issue, but the noise was so dominant that I couldn't get %^%^$& done for diagnosis - you couldn't see a nice trace on the scope.

Dont use super glue to hold the clips as you might run the risk of damaging the coils wires from the outgassing of the glue. The wires corrode easily in these transformers. Use something like hot glue to do the job so you wont have problems later.
