[37silverstreak]

Thanks for the posts! through trial and error I found out that soldering the can was going to be a no-go, so I came up with an alternative. I ran the negative lead of the new cap through the cut I made opening the can. Then I stripped the wire and and taped the end against the can using some aluminum tape I found at the hardware store, which I also used to seal the can back together. I then replaced the capacitor mounting bracket which covers the seam and neg cap lead. I checked everything over with my meter and all seems to be okay
It was quite a bit of work, but actually kind of enjoyed it! This radio is a 37-610 that has never been worked on, so I wanted to try and keep it looking that way!!
Thank you all for the input!
