How I am rebuilding those big multi capacitor cans. 19V1001 family. Clean and solid feeling pics.

Its strong, stable and looks decent. It would be able to survive some fairly heavy impacts and not go anywhere.
This is how I do them which is automatically included in the repair service for the black and white monitor board platters that uses the multi cap cans.

Also good idea to put a lasso tightly around the flyback / hv unit if you are shipping it. you really want to prevent movement that causes back and forth bending onto those hair wires fraying off the high voltage unit..
Here I am using kapton tape.
having it sever off from the high voltage unit casing is not a great thing. I have seen these banged off from there before. the cardboard around the ferrite core is stock, the goop on the transformer was done by someone else already there. although I dont think that was doing anything functional.

That's the poster child for the "let form follow function" school of thought.
Rock solid performance in a -FUGLY- package. :ROFLMAO:

Serious technical question:
Can you explain the transformer repair?
I see the added cardboard tube held in place by Kapton tape and the (silicone?) goop on the top corner.
What is done there and why?
 
You might check with Hayseed Hamfest. They make multi-caps for some stereo units. I recently got a complete set for an HH Scott LK-150 I was finishing for a customer who got in over their head.

The customer had re-stuffed their capacitors, but didn't mark any of them as to their values. Rather than disassemble them, I went with pre-mades from Hayseed Hamfest.


The above is not to say your work is not top shelf or unacceptable in any way shape or form. It is just something I found and felt I should share out of respect for the work you do, which is outstanding.
 
Those look sick nice! good to get new ideas and perspective on other future possibilities with those hayseed spawned caps.

As for the question about the transformer tape thing I have the explanation in the middle of the page. Ill move it on the top under the rest of the text probably easy to miss where it was.

Ah yes, I missed that before. Thanks for moving it to the top!

Those transformer whiskers are a real headache. I'm always terrified that a wire will break off too close to the transformer body...either the whiskers or the anode wire. You can't fix them if they break too close. Similar to the whisker wires on speaker coils. I hate them. But at least they still make speakers.

And by "lasso" do you mean the kapton tape around the transformer coil and the core post/cardboard? I don't think the coil moves laterally does it?
Is the tape there to keep the coil from rotating while in transit? I could see that causing the wires to shear off.

So if that cardboard tube is stock, what normally holds it in place? Is it glued? (I'm at work so I can't go look at mine.)

I've used Hayseed a bunch of times when doing work on vintage amps (guitar and juke). Honestly I have no idea how they make any money with how inexpensive they are for custom can caps. Highly recommend.
