Help with installing a new electrolytic part
#1

Hey guys I am trying to re-stuff this electrolytic can for a Philco 71B cathedral, once I cut open the electrolytic I noticed There was a mesh screen around the wall on the inside of the can, in the center was a metal like waffer that I had already thrown away. My question is where would I tack on the ground side of the electrolytic, there is a cardboard sleeve that sits around the section of the can where the clamps hold it in place so it does not short the can out.

Here are some pictures, as you can see there is only the post that comes out the center, the positive side of the electrolytic will go on the inside of the post, but I don't know where to connect the negative.

That cardboard collar goes around the clam that hold the can in place. That tab that come off it is just a connection point that other connect to under the chassis.

Could the negative side of the electrolytic be the can it's self.

Do I need to leave the mesh plastic screen in the can, what was it used for?

Thanks

Jon
