Ah...that makes sense. Icon_smile

EDIT: Guess I've been pretty lucky...none that I have rebuilt so far were terribly rusty. I have had to repaint the large can at times, but the bottom end that has the terminal board has always been in pretty good shape.

Stude, what type of rivets do you use and how do you install them (i.e. what type of tool is required)? I've tried pop rivets for attaching tube sockets to chassis, but I'm not very happy with the results.
