Well....this is the most dreaded part of any 20 reair for me.
Not recapping, not washing the tuning cap, not even rewinding an RF coil.
The can emptying.
The 111 technique with big bolt and vice for a wight does not work.
Tonight I did the same thing I did 3.5 years ago, heating and removing sections of caps with a bolt and large screwdriver.
The can is empty, tomorrow will by some laquer thinner (I am out of it), clean it inside a bit, and replace it.
Kirk did a great job on the cabinet, so this is the last radio I have to put together after visiting him this last weekend.
