Just for the fun of it, I tried restuffing some paper caps yesterday. I was
successful in removing the innards, inserting a Mylar and sealing the cap
with wax. These units look like original. Would there be any interest out
there in the diehard, keep it original restorer to purchase restuffed caps.
The process takes awhile and I figure each cap at about $1.50/each.
What's your thoughts?
I mite mention that even the lower voltage covering that says 200 or 400
volts would still have the 630 volt cap inside. Only other thing is the
axial leads are just a tad bit smaller in diameter than originals.
