Tonight I finished restuffing all of the electrolytics except for part #153 (3uF/2uF/1uF) - Part No. 30-2159. I'm waiting on parts for that one.
I tried out the technique Chuck describes for retaining the internal positive stud of wet electrolytics as a connecting point.
As mentioned the stud is pure aluminum and somewhat brittle. The first can I tried it on I broke the stud and ended up falling back to the previous method of passing a wire out through the rivet hole.
On the second try I got it. Note the second solder lug that I riveted to the stud. I drilled a 7/64" hole and used a 5/32" x 1/8" aluminum rivet to mount the #4 solder lug (RadioDaze LUG4A-10).

Not having that exterior wire go to the stud is a really nice cosmetic improvement.
