Here’s a resource that I found helpful and I noticed Ron Ramirez mentioned it lately: https://www.antiqueradios.com/philcorestorer/index.html
One of the recommendations mentioned in this page is the practice of j-hooking the new caps to old cap leads. I can see the advantage of not disturbing lead dressing and overheating other components during desoldering. I’ve only used this approach sparingly in tight places or around “delicate” parts. What is general best practice?Would appreciate your thoughts as I contemplate another 48-1270 that’s out in my garage.
