Newbie with Philco 531
#6

The mylar caps for stuffing the old can works well and you don't have to worry about the if you have the polarity correct. If the can on this unit is about the same as the model 95 or 96 there is enough room to install them. To get the mess out of the can what I did was get an eye screw big enouth to get the shank of a screw driver (larger one) in and screw the eye screw in (the longer the better, 2-4") and bake the can in the oven at 300-350F for at least and hour or so and then with some leather gloves on hold the can and put the screw driver shank though the eye bolt and pull the tar mess out. It's smelly and sometimes messy but it is worth it because the original look is maintained.
