Re: AF 11* Transistors. Innards Removal?
Experimenting with a method I found proposed (here?) some years back, of eliminating tin whiskers by applying a soldering iron to the AF117 can sufficiently to melt them, I found the can popped off the contents quite readily. Whether the approach succeeded for me in reclaiming any transistors I can't recall, but it certainly seems a promising way of emptying the can if that's all you want to do: or a less drastic heat source (hot water bath?) might perhaps serve as well.
