Original poster: "by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <PeterCGMN-at-aol-dot-com> I have a fairly expensive, oil-filled, HV cap that is leaking severely. I cant get solder to adhere to the metal when the extremely slippery oil covers it. I cant get all the oil off so the solder will adhere. My funds are too limited to buy a new one. Any suggestions? 73, Kc0Ion, "Ion-Boy"
