Hi Bob,
If there is enough room on the top of the chassis I'll heat the cardboard tube and remove it, break out the Dremel w/a cut off wheel cut around the base abt 1/2 from the bottom. Clean out all the innards, drill sm holes next to each terminal to solder leads from the new cap. Mount new caps inside and slip the cardboard tube back over the top.
If there isn't enough room then I cut the terminals off the old cap and remove it. Find a donor cap w/the same # of connections out in the shed (have a few nos cans around) Cut it open gut it and put new caps inside. Drop it in where the old one was.
The plus to doing it this way is that you don't disturb the rubber wiring much which can be an advantage.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
