I cut with a fine blade hack saw at the top of the crimp (grove). I even up the edges and lightly wire brush then use flux and an 800deg iron. Apply the solder like you were doing a weld. The color of the solder covers any exposed copper and matches the nickel nicely. If mine weren't already installed I would send a picture.

I use the 8mf caps spec. for 25hz transformer.

The Bakelite is well below this level.
