Just bought 37-620 want to get it working
#24

Mike's process is very close to what I do and "most" of the bakelite blocks can be handled just like that. There may be a couple that just have so many wires that are short to not allow the cap to be rotated enough to stick the new caps back in and a wire or two may have to removed from the top. Not many. I also have my small appropriate sized drill bit and my hand cranked old manual drill I use to cut the wires, just the right size to match the hole diameter and a half of turn and you can feel the wire snap. That drill works well on the very occasional blocks I have come across that have the hole filled with solder to drill through that mess. Mike's process is great.
Best, Jerry
