Hi Doug,

It is worth doing, if you're comfortable with fiddly bench work:



The trick is to get it open.


Once when I posted this a few years back, Bob Wennerstrom remarked I was doing it the hard way. He said it would be much easier to uncrimp the bezel; that the bit of mangling won't show behind the escutcheon anyway. I tried it, and he is absolutely right.



Try to keep from cutting through, to avoid debris inside the clock mostly.



Use a sturdy knife to finish the cut.



The capacitors are 100 microfarad electrolytic (2) with radial leads. The voltage rating should be at least 16V, but I think you'll find modern units 25V and higher in the same size as the originals. Observe polarity.



Test before you seal it back up.



I used foil tape.
