Hello, I was looking on here for the procedure for replacing the innards of all the paper caps but was wondering whats the best way to do this with out destroying the outer shell. I thought I would put new caps inside the shell and candle wax the ends to make it look so authentic.

There used to be a website with pictures of nice vintage capacitor labels that you could edit and add your own values to, but I can't find it now.

That would be the now closed old radioz website.

There was interesting data and unique stuff there, too bad it is gone.

. A medium or high toast cycle on a toaster oven works good when trying to melt the wax.
