Hey guys, I'm working on my 16-B right now, and I've finished rebuilding all the bakelite "condensers". Now, it's time for that big...okay, it's NOT square, it's rectangular...tin can full of .5 to 2 mfd capacitors. I would like to keep the tin can and just restuff it, so I can maintain the original look on the top of the chassis. Any pointers from the ones who went before me? I also want to keep the original terminals, and keep the wiring intact. Is it possible and/or advisable??
