Oh yes, I'm very happy that it's working. So many other things could have gone wrong like the hacked up power and output transformers.

I took a whack at retuffing the can caps tonight. I was surprised at how easy it was to cut them open with just a sharp utility knife and gently rolling action. Even more surprised at how much liquid came out. I'm glad I had some napkins handy!

I soldered on some extension wires and threaded them through the hole at the bottom. Then popped the tops back up, mounted and wired them in.

That just leaves one non Philco cap. Anyone have a spare 30-2330 (8mfd, 400v) ? Or anything close that would fit.
