I got the bakelite blocks rebuilt last weekend. Morzh's trick of using an allen wrench, heat gun and leaving them in the set worked great! I warmed them for about 10 seconds, clipped and unsoldered the small wires and the guts pushed right out with a small allen wrench. Installed the new caps, put the block screw back in - done!
The culprit...this one I had unsoldered the wires to replace a power cord, the rest, I left soldered in the set, and could turn them enough to remove the guts, and install the new caps.
The guts...
The rebuild...
I started on the electrolytics yesterday and have one cut open. It came right apart. I used a tubing cutter. Now, how do I put it back together?? What do you use? I fear if I just glue it, it will snap off the 1st time I bump it. I think I am going to try the 6.8mf poly as was suggested by Greg. I have some resistors to replace. These are large. Anyone know what wattage to use?
