TV Man - Ha ha. I see what you mean about our love of terminal strips. Icon_smile

So you guys got me thinking about trying to restuff the filter caps so I took them off tonight.

And then I couldn't resist trying to spiff them up a bit first. At first I tried Mother's Wheel Cleaner... which helped some, but they were still pretty dirty. Then I thought to try some 0000 steel wool on them - and man what a difference that made:

I found Chuck's page on how to restuff them so I might give it a shot. The only thing is they look so nice (big mistake cleaning them) that now I'm having second thoughts about trying to 'pop the top' with a screwdriver (lest I make them look not so nice). Icon_lol
