Actually, on the subject of ukkumpucky, I have restuffed electrolytic cans
in the past.

It was kinda fun to do, mechical-wise, but got old pretty quick.

My attitude today is more along the lines of just sticking
modern electrolytics under the chassis and leaving the cans intact.
Or on a 390A, just getting an octal plug and putting some lytics
on it.

I do have to admit that while I still listen to my 390A's regularly
in the basement, I have acquired a taste for loctal-tubed Zenith
Transoceanics, mostly because I'm actually allowed
to put one in the kitchen! Getting a 390A in the kitchen, with
a nice 10" or 12" speaker, that would be SWEET. Maybe time
to convince my wife that it's time for a kitchen remodeling,
and oh, BTW, that cabinet is going to be 19" wide?
