Yes I restuffed it. You might be able to see the electrical tape holding it together.
Also I had the right value for the white cap and replaced it. I also took out the one in the video board, I don't have it. But I'll go to the store tomorrow.
On a side note, I hooked them up to my Heathkit C3 Condensor Checker and both didn't leak at 378v. I found out at 450 it only puts out about 378v.
Other than the big multi section caps most of the capacitors tested good in this set.
