Hi Brian,
It was not really my intent to solicit for any work. If you're really stuck & can't do it yourself I can put some cans together for you. I doubt you'll get a regular service tech to do this work as it is a bit of PITA but the results are good for those pieces that merit it.
You can also find replacement cans at Antique Radio Supply. Vibroworld does rebuilds as well(but they are not original looking), although I think Vibroworld has shut down operations for some reason or other. There is also some Radio Ham type who does this somewhere in the Midwest of the USA although I can't think of the name right now. I don't care for his method though. As I recall, he uses aluminum tape to seal the can back up. This ok for a can that has a cardboard sleeve but for us audio nuts I don't like the look...saves a bunch of time though.
Most cans can be rebuilt easily with 3 caps, 4 cap cans can be tricky depending on height.
Here's a pic of my SP-3A-1 with 6 cans replaced/rebuilt. This vintage of ARC pre's are notorious for can failures (3 were gone in mine). The lack of this type of can form factor is the reason ARC offers it $1000USD upgrade for the SP-3. For some of the values in the ARC I had to use a completely different method..... that's another tutorial!
