I'll change the proper shield over to the 236 and put a Goat shield on the 75 second detector. I finally realized that a Goat shield won't fit around an S-shaped tube! 
's all I can do. I hope to solder it to a ground with a piece of wire, because the Goat shield won't fit to the original shield mount.
Yeah Exray, after the first bakelite condenser, I wised up, because I had the tar everywhere! I've learned to heat them up and let the heat soak through the bakelite, so you can just push the old guts out using a drill bit stuck through one of the holes where the leads up come through. I used a little drill bit for that.
My cleaning ladies will come tomorrow and see bits of black stuff everywhere! lol All from the first one. I learned to put a shop rag under my work to catch the final crumbs of tar I dig out. Work smarter ,not harder, right?
