Can re-stuffing

[bob91343]

The can is held together by crimping of the ring. If you are careful you can open the crimp. Removing the old capacitor(s) is not trivial; it can be stubborn and might need to be heated to loosen. Or heating might anchor it even more securely. You may have to dig.

Once the innards have been removed, you can restuff any way you like and then put the crimp ring back on. The object, I guess, is to make the unit look original. You can even make the bottom of the chassis look original if you keep the old fiber wafer. Connecting to the aluminum case is tricky; you probably will have to solder to the crimp ring, which isn't aluminum.
