[Collins] 75S-1 recap.

[Dr.Gerald Johnson]

>From a few years back there are a couple techniques for opening 
capacitor cans.

One is to pry the last crimp open at the bottom. That's messy and hard to 
close neatly again.

Neater but harder is to gently chuck the can in a metal lathe and cut the 
can with a thin cutoff tool just above the shoulder of the base. Rework the 
guts and then use epoxy to reassemble the can. Its easy to smash the can 
with the lathe chuck.
