New Project16B Cathedral
#11

I have found in most cases on the bakelite caps that I don't have to even remove the wires. Just use a hand drill with the right size bit and a slight twist will remove the wires coming up from the caps inside. Then I remove the bolt holding the whole thing down and lift the block with the wires attached as high as I can. A heat gun applied to the bakelite case and the internals will come out with a push from the wire holes. Re-install caps, bolt down and solder the leads. Simple and easy. Only on a few have I had to disconnect one or more wires from the tabs to get enough room to heat, remove and install new caps. Whole process, maybe 10 minutes.
