[Drake] Re-Capping for the AC-4

[Jeff Weinberg W8CQ]

Hi All,
I am working on a re-cap set for the AC-4.  It is easy to replace the 125uF
450VDC caps with computer grade caps on a phenolic or fiberglass piece (C1
and C2), and also the single 100uF 150VDC (C3).  I am working on making
available re-manufactured dual section caps for C4 (100-100uF 350VDC) and C5
(40-40 or 50-50 150VDC).

My question is what is an easy way to get the can open?  I know if the can
is opened I can replace the guts with modern caps and figure a way to epoxy
the new caps inside and then reseal the can.

I hope to have all the caps and fiberglass or phenolic mounting pads as a
kit.

Any ideas are appreciated.
