My next step was to restuff the large electrolytic capacitor can in the power supply circuit.
First, the original can, with the replacement Nichicon snap-in cap which will be installed inside the can:

I cut the can open near the bottom, in a manner that the bottom flange will fit inside the remainder of the can once the "guts" have been removed:

The new Nichicon is prepared for installation inside the old can:

Holes were drilled in the base near the positive and negative terminals so the wire leads would fit through. Finally, the new Nichicon is put in place, the leads soldered to the original terminals, the top of the can attached to the bottom with J-B Kwik, and the clamp reattached.

Following this, the unit was reattached to the chassis and the wires soldered back to the original positive and negative terminals.
