Thanks for asking. I'm here every day but I have been busy lately, only not with a Fisher - I'm slowly rebuilding a 37-690 amp/power supply chassis.

Anyway...I say do what suits you. You seem inclined already to replicate the 1940s repair by restuffing the paper caps, so if that's what you want to do, then by all means, you should.
