Hi to all,
I'm in the process of restuffing my first Philco electrolytic capacitor can. I've gotten the can cut open and the old insides removed. I've also got the new cap ready to install, but my problem is that I can't get the solder to adhere to the can to connect the ground lead. I am assuming that the can is aluminum. Is there some trick to soldering aluminum? If anyone has any input or tips on any part of rebuilding these caps, I would really appreciate hearing about them! Thanks!
