Good progress today. The last of the band switch wiring is complete, and the filter can is restuffed - pics to follow soon.

I had not tried reworking one of the cans before - this was the first time I have been faced with the challenge. Desoldering and removing it from the chassis took a little while. at this point, quite a bit of corrosion was evident where the negative/common tab crimps in the end of the can. The rolled edge was lifted as carefully as I could with a modified blade, and with a little heat from the heat gun and pulling gingerly on the tabs, the innards were revealed. Some juggling established a good configuration for the new capacitors and they were soldered in - leads running through discretely drilled holes next to the + terminals so that they could be soldered. Then came the process to replace the parts and re-close the can. This is the part that gave most concern, but with slow careful working, I was very happy with the final result.

One point to note, I had to file the shoulders of the twist tabs in order to get the can to seat against the chassis. I think this is down to the difference in roll profile of the can's edge after it was reassembled.

All in all, I am happy with the results.
