Hello everyone. Just got the filter can on my 20 out. I tried your advice Joe, but ended up unsoldering the entire unit to get it out. The BC resistor was running hot enough to melt the pitch inside the can, and it cemented the two pieces together. Once I had it out I was able to apply heat to the base and pry it apart enough to cut the wires inside and separate the two pieces. I then propped the filter can on top of a coffee can with some scrap steel and placed the whole thing in front of my torpedo heater in my garage. In less than a minute the innards were sliding out of the can into the coffee can. No muss, no fuss, and no smells in the house to light my wife's fuse! I'm progressing rather slow on this project. I only get a little time here and there to work on it, and I'm not in any marathon to complete it, at least until it's warm enough outside to start on the cabinet!! This is a great remedy for cabin fever. I appreciate all the advice I've been getting. My caps should be here any time now, so for now just cleaning up the chassis. Take care. Gary
