Capacitor "Restoration"
I have this vintage dual chassis 30B1 Admiral in excellent pre-restoration condition. Haven't yet tested to determine if yoke, flyback, and crt are functional but I believe they will be. This is in the wooden cabinet (bakelite might have been nicer).
My question is whether this is set merits the extra time when recapping to "hide" the new caps within the old capacitor shells? I have yet to go to this trouble in my first couple restorations, but these were later (mid 50s and early 60s) devices. It know it is going to add a lot of time and am not 100% sure it can always be done for every cap. I am looking for feedback on how and when this extra step might be merited and what difference it might ultimately make in the value years down the road. On this set you won't see the caps unless the chassis is turned over, as only cans show up top. What do you folks do?
