Next up was the capacitor can (#15 on the schematic) which contains 5 caps. At first I was puzzled since I could only find 4 leads coming out of the can. After tracing them out I realized that the paper cap that was on Bakelite block cap #16, and which I had assumed was simply a repair for a bad #16, was actually the 0.1uF (#5 lead) on the #15 can.... Here's the tacked on paper cap and if you look real close you can see the stub of the lead that was cut off from the #15 can.

There's another old rewiring repair job in the set .... but that's for later.
The actual can stuffing was very straight forward. The surface rust on the can was removed by soaking in Metal Rescue for a few hours, rinsing and drying.
