The weekend is here again, so now I can work some more on this chassis.

Tonight, I hit the aluminum can electrolytic with heat from the heat gun until I was able to pull out the twist-lock electrolytic inside:

Next, I installed two new electrolytics (both 10 uF, one @ 450 VDC and the other @ 50 VDC).

The can had a tapered portion near the bottom. I cut just above the taper so that I would be able to add a little glue and then push the cut pieces together:

To be continued tomorrow after the glue dries.
