Funny thing about that
.. I had a long drive today and along the way I gave this a fair bit of thought. I'm not going to stuff the old cans. I'm going to build a daughter board and mount the 4 new caps conventionally. Why? because I don't give a damn about maintaining the "look" of something nobody will ever see in my lifetime
What I do care about is fixing it easily in the off chance one of the new caps takes a dump on me. Trying to unstuff the old caps and then re-stuff them is just not worth it. Having a clean daughter board with normally mounted caps will be clean and much easier to repair if the need ever comes up. I'm just deciding now on perf board or making my own PWB.
This
post from Deltalight got me thinking on my drive
I had to go to photo bucket direct to get the images, the links do not work anymore on the post.
