Jim - I re=capped a Zenith Transoceanic model 8G005 from the 1940s.? There were a couple paper caps I could not get to without disassembling a bunch of stuff and figured the risk was not worth it.? This was compounded by the wiring insulation was brittle and would crack and fall apart if moved!? That one has a whole bunch of new silicone insulated wire in it!
?
Your observation about the rivets makes me wonder if that might have been the cause of some of my problems in the past...
