Hi,

In the Philco 80 there are the Sprague can caps that have the top caps that are beaded around the cylinder. Sort of like a beer bottle cap, only smooth, with no ruffles for the opener.

Is there any way to lift the caps without damaging them? I'd like to avoid cutting and to just press the cap out, and the glue it in place when done re-stuffing.

Maybe someone tried that already.

Mike.
