Capacitor Tester and Reformer Unit - Stefan Niewiadomski

[Yorkie]

The BVWS do some small insulated can type  single electrolytics for stuffing, but they're 25mm diam x 30mm long, so it would be a struggle to get two inside a double unit can, though I've not tried it. 

I've attached a pic of a single 16uF BVWS cap that I used. Otherwise, the Rubycon BXW ones illustrated in post #5  in the link below from Farnell will sometimes fit three to a can, side by side:

(The BVWS ones are of course only available to members, which not all restorers are).

It's worth adding that the (non electrolytic) BVWS metalised polyester film caps are physically small and ideal for stuffing old waxy paper caps for when appearance is considered important. There are those who - particularly on pre-war sets - understandably find bright yellow polyester caps offensive to the eye. OK perhaps on a bog standard commonplace post-war set of no particular value or merit such as the DAC90A, but not a rare 1930s classic set which has been totally stripped and painstakingly rebuilt in a 'nut and bolt' wire by wire restoration.
