Philco 90 Filter Cap Can Question?
#4

Refer to this link from the Philco Repair Bench site. It is exactly how I re-stuff them. The only thing I do differently is, after the mershon is "gutted," I try to gently tap the metal screw through the plastic insulation until it falls out. Be careful, as it is very soft metal. If I can do this, I clean the inside end with a small wire brush, drill a small hole through it, and secure/solder the positive end of the replacement cap to it. This allows you to re-stuff without drilling a hole in the plastic for the positive end of your replacement cap.
