On the subject of repacking filter cans...I found that when you drill into  
the pins (used a drill the size of the cap leads)  of the filters  through the 
aluminum "rivet" that you will hit brass..tell tale yellow shavings  start to 
show..I just dabbed flux into the small drill holes and filled them  with 
solder..then heated again and inserted the cap leads..it was much easier  than 
tapping the holes and setting brass screws..I like quick and easy stuff  ...RIKK
