Go to the R-390 list archives and search for "black uckumpucky". This
subject has been done in exhausting detail there, several times.

> 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.
