Point taken, but since this radio no longer had any of its original caps, I'm going to leave the restuffed caps as they now are and I am not going to redo the work I have done. (I don't have any Canadian paper caps, anyway, and I only have a very limited supply of USA paper cap shells.)
I've used aluminum duct tape on electrolytics before. I did not use it here as I cut the electrolytics open at the point just above where the base is enlarged for the twist-lock tabs. Again, photos tomorrow. As for the thick paper cover getting crushed, it was taller than the can inside was anyway...and there is no reason why it should get crushed...
I will have to look again tomorrow, but I think the electrolytic cans are both stamped "Made in U.S.A."
Above all, I am pretending this is a 41-722 Tropic, since it is identical to one save for having the 80 tube instead of an 84.
