Cutting electrolytic cans open
#2

On the capacitors I did, I used a hack saw blade mounted in a single handle and cut around the perimeter about 1/4 inch up from the bottom. These were for a Philco 60 and the cut was made so that it wouldn't show when the can was clamped in place. It is also helpful to draw a vertical line across the cut before taking the capacitor apart, so that the can will be postioned exactly same as it was removed. I'm sure there are better methods and I will be interested to read about them.
