For appearance. *A lot of the older stuff (I mean 40's and 50's vintage
record players and radios, not stuff since the 60's) had phenolic or
Bakelite outer cans on electrolytics. *A new aluminum or vinyl shrink-

Rather than mangling the original can why not save it intact and
fabricate a replica cover for the replacements?
