I honestly have never re-capped ANYTHING, I don't know HOW, have HUGE, arthritic hands & I doubt I'll ever learn, at this rather late stage in my life. That being said, I've read of lots of stories here, over at AK, & elsewhere, about what an onerous, tedious task it is. NOBODY apparently likes doing it, so therefore, it would seem to me that if you absolutely HAVE to undertake such a thankless task, that one would install the FINEST caps that are available, so that one would hopefully NOT have to undertake such nonsense again. Also, because CT-100s ARE so rare & valuable, it would behoove a restorer to install the finest replacement parts available-Just in case.
