Zenith 12-S-265 (chassis 1204)
#15

Continued: With the dummy cardboard top in place I filled it with hot glue and put the original cover in place and it's ready to be inserted back into the metal can:

   

I then removed the final electrolytic that is a 12 and 20 MFD.  Unfortunately it has that same hard black tar so into the freezer it goes  Icon_lol

   

I did take an hour or two to wipe off most of the dirt on the chassis, but I'll have to remove items to get everything as clean as it should be.
