Re-stuffing metal bodied capacitors.
#8

Chas,

There is definitely something to be said for leaving the cans in physically, and clipping wires and installing under the chassis, as opposed to the extra work with stuffing....done that under-the-chassis-thing numerous times already, with good success.  I became curious about the stuffing idea after I viewed a few videos of some other restorers stuffing for originality's sake.  They even stuff cardboard ones, but I think that goes a bit far, . . . . I would rather get rid of that much more flammable material from these heat-producing appliances !  Decided to give it a try on this one's metal cans .  . . . and maybe on the 89-B when the time comes, if this time works out.  Thanks for sharing your ideas.
