Well, Jeremy and Mike, doing this is therapeutic in that it gives me something productive to do while I continue looking for work.

Progress report: Most of the caps are gutted, restuffed, and ready for reinstallation:

Only two more to restuff and then the real fun begins.

I'm not using the original electrolytics only because they are so big...and melting out the innards is proving to be problematic. I did gut one, but it left one end looking burnt. To conserve on some space, I am using one of the Aerovox replacements that was added in parallel with one of the electrolytics. I had an empty Aerovox shell already, and will use it for the other electrolytic.

I think that it would be good to heat the old electrolytics in an oven or toaster oven, at low temperature, for more uniform heating. This might prevent the burning of the shells, since the substance used to seal the ends of the old paper electrolytics is a higher temperature material, not really waxy but something different.

I will be replacing resistors as I go, also.
