If the idea is to maintain the original look, I'd gut it and stuff it with a film capacitor.

You could get rid of the moisture this way, but I don't think I'd want to trust it. I do have the facilities to try this with little effort, so I will out of curiousity to see what the results are. I won't reuse the cap though.
