Tonight I polished the two electrolytic cans and reinstalled them on the chassis.

One of them is even hooked up now - see lower left of the photo below.

And Arran, I did try your suggestion on the "ears" of the nut holding the third electrolytic. After considerable hammering and bending, I was finally able to remove both nut, fiber washers, and electrolytic.

As you can see below, the threads at the bottom of the electrolytic can are badly mangled. I know that I caused some of this damage, but I believe the threads were already bad - which is why the nut refused to budge previously.

After considerable searching through my stash o'stuff, I managed to find one more stud mounting electrolytic can so I will be able to replace the original can. This is C35, 18 uF. I'll save this can for future use in a Philco with clamp mounting, where the damaged threads will not matter.

Hopefully I can manage to squeeze both 10 uF and 8.2 uF Solen Fast caps into the replacement can.

We shall see...
