Another National SW-54
#6

That's why you can leave a note under the chassis somewhere letting people know that the caps were restuffed, should you choose to do so. In all honesty I restuff because the look of daffodil yellow caps under a 1930s radio just plain looks wrong, but I reserve that for special sets, such as ones that are all, or mostly original under the chassis. Even if you don not restuff it's easy enough to leave a bag/envelope with the original caps in it inside the cabinet in case someone down the road wants to do what Rich is doing. But this begs the question, what about Philco Bakelite block caps, and metal can block condensers, I.E the kind that were used in Philco 96s for example, most people restuff those because they also double as terminal strips?
