Well,
Haven't used my plt450 s4 in a while so i poped a battery in a while ago and what do ya know, something burned onto the diode window. Did a search on decanning and DTR and a few others have posted ways to decan. As alot of you know, I just happen to have some spare dead diodes lieing around to practice on. DTR suggested using a drill but I decided to use a needle file to score it all the way around then break it off. It doesn't look like it but the cans are brass and easily scored. It's worked in practice so here goes nothing.... will edit in results
