I dont mean to offend any vintage radio-restorers here at all!! I personally dont see any reason at all to restuff orig paper caps, orig bakelight, and/or metal-housing filter caps, unless "space" under chassis doesnt permit for room to add a terminal-strip! Always remember, that the next owners of all these great vintage pieces of "Radio Americana",(your restoring now),.. will someday fall into the hands of future restorers after all us restorers are gone!! Do you really want the next-generation of vintage radio techs to have to go thru the process of buying a copy of "Philco Condensers & More" to find out just what you "re-stuffed" those old bakelight condensers with?... (after digging thru your re-stuffing) process to again replacing all your "ideas" of totally Original concept?
Sorry, but I personally think the next generations of techs that restores all our "previously restored" vintage Radios (all brands), would expect us to to take the "mystery" out of the project, use "well marked components caps,etc, Before!!, they have to recap the radios 40-50 yrs down the road!? I always realize, that all my vintage radio collection will "outlive" me by many years!! And all the next owners want, is for them to "work",, and be "easily" repaired if need be. Seems to me that leaving "well marked" capacitors (not hidden in orig bakelight housings), by taking time to install terminal-strips, would be a much better idea for the future restorers??? You reckon?? Now, throw your bricks at me,... Randal
