Just started recapping bakelight blocks. Not sure which ways easier, unsolder them or lift them with foil shield and heat. Problem is I have a military version of a heat gun. Bought it from the onbase auction. Settings on it are just air with no heat or other setting. Melt anyting in its path.
Next in the capping saga is bakelite cap #102. Wired inbetween the two 8mfd caps. The outside of it looks like the tar from inside of it has melted and coated it. Can these caps do this and get hot if they short?

I started collecting radios when I was a kid.......never kept any of them. Always messed them up(didnt know what I was doing) Sucessfully bought my first radio and got it working in 1995in california, and carried it home on a 3 day train ride. It was a philco 38 code 123 battery operated farm set.
