Technique for stuffing Philco sealed in plastic .
#1

I'm working on a model 19. I have done these "sealed" caps before but don't remember what it took. This radio has like 9 of them. Getting a little old and the brain doesn't work as well. Anyone out there has a link (I couldn't find one) to how to just lift and break out the inside? On easy ones with few connections, OK cut the wires off and lift out but this is really a cramped radio. Thinking about just taking the right sized drill and going down through the holes where the wires come up through. They are not soldered through the holes, just to the connectors on the outside. Then perhaps adding the caps externally to the connectors. Seems like I recall, getting the tar out of these things was nasty. Any ideas out there?

Thanks, Jerry
