Can re-stuffing

[DaveWM]

if you dont really care about how it looks, My fav way (read fast and easy and uses cheap radial lead caps) is to use a bone saw, cut off just at the shoulder, drill holes for cap leads, put radial lead caps in with neg in center, feed the pos thru and attach to the orig term, some epoxy glue put the can back on, or leave it off.

the reasons for the above are

1) its fast, just cover any holes where you don't want alum chips to go.

2) it keeps all the lead dress orig (but for the single center neg that must be connected to the chassis.

3) its cheap (radial lead caps are MUCH cheaper than axial, and I just dont like to use radial caps under the chassis.

To do a proper job of an under the chassis recap takes a bit of time to figure where you mount term strips, and invites wiring errors.

using the bone saw, I can replace a 3-4 section cap in about 10min tops, and it save having to mess with parts that are soldered to the terminals (like resistors and diodes as an example).

When I fix for others this is the approach I use, since I do not charge for repair work, I want it done a quickly as I can.
