Speaking of which if you are restuffing any potted condenser cap, even if it originally had dry electrolytics in it, the film caps is the ONLY way to go.

There are a few cans used in the 38-690 that might require electrolytic replacements.

For one, 30-2201 (8 uF 450V and 10 uF, 50V), I might be able to use film for both.

But another, 30-2249 (8 uF 475V, 3 uF 475V, 2 uF 300V) - I think film for all three might be too much to fit in one can.

And then there's one can on the tuner chassis, 30-2247 ( 2 uF 450V, 1 uF 450V X2, 10 uF 50V, 2 uF 300V). That's five caps in one can. I think I'll have to restuff that one wilth all electrolytics.

I think I'm going to use these for the three missing 8 uF cans:

For the 18 uF cap, I am thinking of using two Solen Fast 8 or 10 uF 600V axial caps in parallel, stacked one above the other inside the can. The Arcotronics/Kemet 8 uF axial from Mouser might not fit inside the can (diameter of the cap is 1.36" and the outer diameter of the can is 1.375"; inner diameter will be slightly smaller). The diameter of the Solen 8 uF cap is 1.18" which will fit much easier.

Solen caps have been ordered. I haven't ordered any of the others yet.
