Second, if you don't want to spend the money for a cap can (and yes, they are rather pricey) you might consider restuffing it. I did that recent with my Ampeg 835. You can find the thread in the 50s forum on this site. It's not really hard, but you'll need a Dremel or something to cut the can open. There are suggestions there for caps that will fit inside the can.
Yeh youre probably right. I read through your thread and followed your links but I didnt find any info about restuffing a cap can besides you saying that you might do it. Maybe I'm missing something? one of the links you posted doesnt exist anymore.
