Can re-stuffing

[Daave]

Thanks for the info!!

I did (finally) remove the one 4 section cap because it was in a recessed part of the chassis and I couldn't get a good angle on the saw, but I did do one other (and plan to do the rest) by cutting it off in place, right at the base and feeding thru the leads. It worked well! And looks good to me.. I didn't want to put all these big caps underneath and have to reroute wires, etc

Now what does a dried up electrolytic look like? I mean one 4 section vertical cap guts came out real easy (no heat) and it felt dryish but it wasn't crumbling apart. The single filter cap in the power supply on the other hand was very moist and damp and took heat to get the guts pulled out.

This is my first time ever trying this I just watched a bunch of youtube videos
