Today the scariest part I kept putting off, the cap 89, the triple one in a box, against expectations turned out to be a snap. That is, almost a snap - I had to first desolder and lift a backelite that was under it.
I was afraid there would be rivets to drill and tabs to desolder but all that there was to it happened to be three snap-locks (two of which were under that backelite) and three wires to cut. The potted part inside is simply wraped in paper so it came out on request, just by pulling the wires, and was held inside by simple bending tabs. Not quite unlike those tin-can rectangular caps in Philco 20. I have the stuffing, so tomorrow will put it in and in the oven it goes
