[Milsurplus] BC-342 Oil-Filled Caps

[J. Forster]

If they are soldered shut like many WW II caps, a big soldering iron and
lots of Solder-Wick or a solder sucker like a Pace.

You don't want to heat the whole can at once. Heat a local area and remove
the solder and work your way around.

If you heat the whole thing too hot, the oil can vaporize and the thing
can then pop and burn.

Wear goggles and other non-flamable protective clothing too.

FWIW,

-John
