Words of wisdom and lessons learned-take plenty of pictures before you disconnect those wires for recapping. I managed to stuff mine with standard orange drops at 630v but it was tight. 450v electrolytics would have given much more room but as Ron indicated, the longevity wouldn't be as good. This is what the wiring looked like inside the can on mine before snipping and removing some of the tar to have room to fit the caps.
