Big Square Tin Can Capacitor Rebuild
#3

Thanks for the help, Exray! I'm just coming to that big rusty-looking can.As per your picture, I suppose this means I WILL have to undo those wires!
No matter, as long as I Pan-code them! lol Got the ancient little Pan Code booklet....I have a long piece of phenolic board (WITH LONG TWIN ROWS OF TERMINALS!!) that would do for the base.
I see what your doing, okay. That plexi looks SPIFFY! That's the same type caps that will go into my re-build. The two 2mfd. anyway. The 1 Mfd is cobbled up out of two .5s. Once I get that can off, I'm assuming it will come apart so I can re-paint and re-use the ugly piece of rust!
I've always admired your work, especially the home-brew stuff. It always looks professional.
But enough of the hero worship. Icon_lol Icon_wink
And I'm always glad to have somebody willing to (through the Phorum and the internet anyway!) rub shoulders with me at the bench. It helps, believe me! Your Icon_idea Icon_idea Icon_idea are always good ones.
