Zenith 12-S-265 (chassis 1204)
#14

The next electrolytic consisted of a 4 and 8 MFD mounted above the chassis.  When I removed this capacitor it became apparent just how filthy this chassis is  Icon_eek :

   

This dual section cap was just a cardboard tube that slid inside the Zenith orange can that mounted on the chassis:

   

Presented with that same hard black tar I decided to take a different approach and stuck it in the freezer overnight.  I then wrapped it in a shop towel and smacked it with a hammer (several times) and all the black tar eventually cracked and fell out.  I did have to sink a drywall screw into the actual capacitor to yank it out:

   
   

I put some filler in the tube to take up space, shot in some hot glue to anchor the capacitors in place.  I then made another cardboard disk to keep from having to use so much glue as filler:
