[Collins] WTB: 516F-1 cap

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

What you may have to do is to take the cover off, its the bottom side 
that is soldered in place, then install a .05 @1KV orange drop and 
solder the case back together. And do that without destroying the feed 
through insulators. A sturdy knife may be best at removing most of the 
solder without adding heat. You might need to build a contoured set of 
wooden vise jaws to hold the case while you attack it.

If the .05 is too fat, it might be necessary to use a couple .025 to fit 
the case better but polyester caps tend to be smaller than oiled paper.
