46-420 Hippo Line Cord Replacement
#7

Peter,

I'll be honest, I simply do not remember. But with the similar caps I usually see if they are:

1. Paper cartridge without aluminum shell. These often have a very hard substance (would not call it tar) on top. I chiesel out the top part until I get to the innard, then heat it up with a Milwaukee gun and use corkscrew to gut it. Sealing is brown hot glue.
PS> sometimes tthe paper is thin, and not really guttable. This doe snot happen often. I remember making a label for a Zenith Transoceanic cap and wrapping it around a improvised paper cartridge made out of a piece of some thin dense paper.
2. Aluminum cartridge inside. These are better. The top is typically black tar, and I simply pit the corkscrew in and try to heat it up and pull all out at once. Then clean, restuff and reseal with the same brown hot glue.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
