A little more today. The 10 uf cap in the tail of the power supply was originally a large Dublier can, which had been replaced by a Mallory axial soldered directly to the Candohm.
I removed the large can from the chassis, cut it open and removed the cardboard cartridge which filled it. This thing was overkill for a filter on the negative bias end of the PSU - 10 uf at 600V! Zenith service sheet calls for a 10 uf at 25 V... I added long cloth covered wires to a 10 uf 450V electrolytic which will do the job nicely, and hot-glued this into the lower part of the casing. I made a new rubber grommet for the wire exit point. The cut edges of the can matched very nicely after facing them with a large flat file. A card sleeve was made and glued in to the upper piece, with about 1/2" extending from the open edge. Once the glue had dried, I added glue to the lower part of the can and the card, and placed it over he other part of the can containing the new cap. t looks good
