Re: 1938 Murphy A56V television restoration
I’ve used an old 500 Watt halogen lamp controlled by a dimmer to melt the wax on capacitors before.
The lamp is positioned above a tin to catch the wax. The old innards can then be pulled out leaving the card sleeve intact, ready for re stuffing.
It works well, but does need some experimentation to get it right!
