I've been following this discussion from a distance, not paying much
attention, but I'd like to warn that this fix is better done by
replacing the original capacitor. One should avoid putting wires
inside an RF can, especially if they run towards the outside of the
can. It ruins the can shielding purpose... you're probably setting
yourself up for some other different problem derived from RF
interference after you do that...
