Okay!
So the CARE package arrived a few days ago from Canada, eh!
I had already ordered 500V electrolytics before we had this discussion about the Solen caps. Next time, I think I will try some of those instead.
But for now...I've cut open all of the old electrolytic cap cans, have gutted all but one, and drilled holes for wires to go through the bases. Tonight, I will install the new caps in the cans and glue the cans back together where they were cut open.
There is one out of the bunch that I will have to heat up in order to get the old innards out - the one that originally held an 8 uF and a 10 uF cap, with wire leads.
Once all of the electrolytic cans are restuffed and reinstalled in the 37-690's lower chassis, I expect things to proceed fairly rapidly from that point.
