Jim, Not knowing if you are one of the purists (and this is meant with
absolutely no malice), or not, might I suggest that you simply add a
hay-rake terminal strip to the bottom of the chassis, near/at where the
electrolytic is mounted and use a couple of readily available tubular
electrolytics. The chassis top will look original and only you will
know the horrible truth, below deck...!!! Via experience with my '60T,
you may find that some of the paper caps are bad also. Its my personal
position that one's gear should work properly and via the use of
whatever appropriate components are required and available. Having said
the above, check with Antique Electronic Supply (AZ). They often have
NIB multi-section caps in stock.

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
