Zenith 6D029
#4

I decided to take on the hardest part first, the electrolytic.  It is buried deep under the terminal strip, a cap and a resistor.  I drilled out the rivet holding the terminal strip, disconnected a couple of wires and was able to pull it back out of the way.

It was still a tight fit and after trying to unsoldered the connection on the ecap lugs I decided it would be easier to cut them and then rewire when the ecap goes back in.  Zenith used the crappy rubber wire in this set so I'll be doing more rewiring than I had thought.  Fortunately only one of the twist lugs on the ecap was used as a B- connector so I was able to get most of the solder off it, untwist the 3 lugs and drop the ecap out.  Whew...

I had decided I needed to pull and stuff the can since there really is no room under the chassis for a 40, 20 and 20 uF caps.
