Restore those metal can capacitors
 

You ever have them had to find metal can capacitors go bad?
Here is a solution I can up with years ago to keep the unit stock looking.

Cut the capacitor even at the base. This is where it steps from small to big.
Remove all the insides and tar around the bottom.

You will need 4 10uf at 450 volts.

In this case this is a 10uf times 4 at 450 volts.
Arange capacitors as shown in picture 2.
Solder all grounds together.

You can see how the capacitors fit right into the can.

In picture 3 solder the positive leads to pin base.

Picture 4 shows the ground in installed. These case are aluminum so you can not solder the ground to it. Simply drill a small hole near on of the base legs and run hook up wire through it. Solder to leg

Apply hot glue to legs and fill the gap between capacitors and base.
This makes it sturdy and no chances of shorting out.

If you cut the can in the right place the cover will slide inside the base. If not clean the meatal a bit by grinding to fit.

What I did to keep the two halves together was pin the inside of the cover 1/16 of an inch from the bottom. This puts dimples that stick out around the outside bottom of the cover. Just slightly tap together and that is it.

This works great for old tram radios.
