>Can you slide a thin knife blade, or something between the case and the contents to separate them?
I kinda doubt it. They are wedge in pretty tight and still have to get them loose at the top.
Some folks will go to the thrift store and pick up a toaster oven large enough to accommodate the cap can and use that to heat in up. You could do it in the garage so Mrs Mike doesn't catch wind of it. Temp wise around 210-225deg that will soften it up but take some time like 1/2 hour or so. You run it hotter but too hot it will damage the paint job and maybe catch fire.
I don't remember how the can fits on to the base but perhaps you could wire up the new caps onto terminal board mount that to the chassis then fit the top cover later. Seems like part of it snaps together. I try to get thing done and working all at once but waiting isn't my strong suit.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
