Changed out the last can for its Hayseed replacement. Thought it would be easy, with just one section, simple wiring. However, it was the 200 uF unit with the floating can. It simply did not want to part company with the insulated phenolic mounting plate, and took lots of persuasion to flatten, twist and push the four twist tabs before even a little movement was achieved. All the while, I was mindful that the phenolic could easily be wrecked if too much force was applied. The old twist tabs have cuts in them to create extra lips for more holding power, and it is hard to get these flat again with the clearance required to pass back out of the mounting holes. After about 1/2 hour of persuasion, it finally came free, although the phenolic chipped slighty - fortunately an area hidden by the can. The new cap was installed, and I replaced the HT rectifier diodes. I should be ready for a test tomorrow, see what we have, and get ready for the next steps.

Cheers
