Today I re-stuffed the #52 electrolytic can. I cut the can open near the base and drained some 87 year old liquid out. Icon_wtf

I removed the tin plate coil inside and discarded it. A quick dunk in the ultrasonic cleaner bath and the can was sparkling clean. I soldered lugs on each end of the new capacitor after carefully measuring their positions. I drilled holes in the cap and stem to accept some small screws. After assembling everything back together I re-installed the can back into the chassis.

Now on to the next can...
