Newbie with Philco 531
#8

Normally I do this when she is visiting friends and doesn't know what I am cooking. You take the lower portion clipping the leads, the 95 was fun because you have quite a few caps to replace so I used some shrink wrap on the leads to keep them from shorting. Even baking that can for an hour or so does not melt it to the core but does melt most of the outer mess and the eyebolt helps pull it out of the can. If I had to do the 95 again I would solder a terminal strip in for the ground leg and attach the leads to the terminal strip and this would make some of the clutter a bit better. The 95 had 8 total caps to pack in which made it a little more difficult. I will do the same thing to my model 16X but luckily there are less to stuff in the can, only 5. That stuff does stink and get gooey so I put the can inside an empty coffee can so if any goo drips out it won't drip in the oven. I use leather gloves with holding it because cap can does get a bit hot.
