Atwater Kent 55C - she's singing again
#12

Well, don't start digging.

You can heat the thing up just till it gets soft. As I recall the cap is fairly large. That is about all I remember except that it would be easy to miss and bad to do so since it is across the OP primary. The last one, I think I did with a heat gun. It was about 6 months ago or about 5 months 3 weeks and 5 days too long.

You know it would probably work just as well if you were able to disconnect 1 leg of the old cap - if all else seems impossible.
