MERSHON condenser rebuild
#4

Bobs idea worked great, However I hit a dead end and have emailed him. I was able to remove the insides very easily, using Bobs method. However I am unable to remove the rod to which the aluminum was attached. There is a nut mounted, on the very bottom, inside the potting material (the threaded part) and while I cam wiggle the post back and forth a little, even after soaking the bottom nut with WD40, I simply can't turn the post out and am afraid I will bread the threaded part that holds the capacitor to the chassis.  There is no way to hold the nut that is molded inside of the mounting.  I have threaded the nut that mounts the parts to the capacitor, all the way down to the one molded inside of the assemble and can put it on and take it off so the threads must be good on the rod assembly and nut. Thanks, Michael
