First I have to find out the method of cutting a can open and being able to close it up without having it look hastily cobbled. I know the info. is here on this site, so I just need to find it. As well I'm sure there are videos on YouTube and instruction on other sites. I like sticking with this site; my favorite. Thanks again and add more info if anyone wishes to.

Actually, CE Manufacturing (an off-shoot of Antique Electronic Supply and their wholesale operation, CE Distributors) makes FP style multisection electrolytics, and Barker Microfarads (in Hillsville, VA) makes the old Sprague Atom line of Electrolytics. Good luck finding small quantities of the Barkers - they are hard to find anywhere. You'll have better luck finding and buying the Sprague Atoms, made by Barker.
I sure wish sites would just list parts by value (microfards, ohms, etc) rather that by part number or SKU numbers - both are meaningless when searching for replacements for older caps.
