restoring capacitor tar block
#2

I don't remember any tar block caps in 60.
There is a gang cap can with 5 caps but it is not a tar block. Caps are tared tobether but not to the can.

You simply open the tabs, take the cardboard front off and pull the envelope of the tarred caps wrapped in fish paper out.

I simply solder the caps together at the GND, wire the leads, abd then pot the leads with hot glue after threading them through the cardboard front's holes if existing. The fishpaper serves as the insulator from the can.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
