Ya, when I refurbished a Philco 70, 40ya, I was able to knock the perforated top cab off the condensers. FWIR a Mershon wet electrolytic. I cut the body under the cap, such that the replacement of the cap covered the sins..
China yellow caps did not exist at the time. I used foil/plastic Sprague dipped caps inside the blocks. They were the most reliable at the time, I had used same type to make audio tuning circuits for a RTTY de-modulator.
I had no other motivation to stuff the filter caps other than leaving ugly holes and difficulty locating suitable terminals under the chassis.
Oh, I used Sprague electrolytics inside the cans, they looked so lost inside...
I still play the radio now and then...
