Im most definately a shoemaker also Terry! (hee hee)! Dont feel bad dude! Aint nothin wrong with clippin' out those old caps, making a nice little horseshoe-bend on all connect points, squeezing them together with small needlenose pliers, then soldering them in place!
Heck, I dont even re-stuff orig bakelight, electrolytics, & or orig paper type caps either! Im a shoemaker-deluxe!! What a waste of time!? Most of those old timer radio techs just "subbed-in" new electrolytics across the origs because they were in a hurry in those days! Back then, they figured all those sets would be replaced anyways with a brand spankin new "low price"model instead, if they didnt keep the repair costs minimal as possible. Ive had old radio techs tell me this personally!
About the only thing I can think of right off hand for the next generation of restorers to be PO'ed about, is trying to replace caps again many yrs down the road, and wonders "why-did", someone spend so much time re-stuffing ANY old capacitor, for any reason, other than originality purposes? Removing all that "hot-glue" that many use today, is really gonna give all the future tube techs
a real, real bad case of the red-azz indeed that has to remove all that un-necessary stuff just to get to the parts again! No offense intended to the purists at all!! Not my intention! Just my .02
