Philco 38-690 electronics restoration.
#43

Well, that is what I think. It is merely a paper cap. What also makes me think it is a non-electrolytic, is that it was fully dry upon extraction BUT when measured before it did show about 5uF (old paper caps tend to increase in value) so my thought is, yes, it is a metal-cased paper cap. Which, yes, can be replaced by a NP electrolytic, or (choice that sounds better to me) by a polyester cap.

PS> Someone on the Ukrainian forum suggested using a reloading press for gun cartridges to roll the edges. Could possibly work if the diameter fits.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
