Default HRO-60 C-65

Hello

I now have one HRO-60, which I have wanted since I did not have $800 in
1965, and it has one part that can cause fatal damage.

It is a dual 40 mfd electrolitic between one of the power transformer
windings and ground, and the power transformer is made of unobtanium.

I am quite certain that modern solid capacitors will never short out. Does
anyone put them into a can that is about 1.4 inches in diameter and 3
inches high? The can of course is not critical, but that is about the size
of the space available.

Any ideas will be gratefully considered.

Jim
