16B works after 90% recap
#2

The big brick cap can isn't all that hard to redo, I take it off the chassis, drill out the two rivets and then put it on a scrap pie pan and bake it in the oven at about 350 for about 45 mins but you could also do a heat gun and then get a long wood screw then take the bottom off and screw the wood screw in and get some gloves and pull the goo caps out. You could use electrolytics but I just use drops and put them in the cap can and then rivet the unit back together. I also usually paint it with "metallic paint" to get the original look back and then bolt it back and hook up the leads again.
