[QUOTE="john998, post: 40914, member: 289"] Hello, The easycap comes with very good instructions, it's a few sleeps back but I don't remember having to disassemble the armature you can disconnect the old capacitor while it is in one piece. As far as original capacitors go the one on my solo has been faultless for more that 50 years, this mag was fitted in 1961. I feel that Lucas improved the quality of the capacitors in there later units. If we could get capacitors with the correct physical and electrical characteristics like the later Lucas item this would be the ideal. Pre war BTH capacitors would fall apart if you removed them they appeared to be a lose pile of mica and silver paper, but still highes quality than Lucas. John. [/QUOTE]
