Okay!
A lot of progress has been made today. But first, let me back up to the IF transformers.

The rebuilt 1st IF is on the left. The 2nd IF can is in the middle, followed by the actual 2nd IF transformer, and the hardware for same.
Another photo of the 1st IF transformer:

Notice the J-B Weld on the can. As I mentioned in a previous post, the metal "keepers" (I don't know what the proper term for these would be) dig into the aluminum when they are screwed on. This keeps the IF transformer "guts" in place. It also damages the can, and can cause the can to break where these parts dig into the aluminum. I added the J-B Weld after the upper hole partially broke upon removing the "keeper".
Here's one of the electrolytics:

This is the one which will have the original thick paper cover reinstalled over it...

...and how it looks once the cover is back in place.

Here's the other electrolytic. Yes, the gluing job is sloppy. I'm open to suggestions as to how to better do this.
