Ok, that is super cool.

  Although unpractical in many ways, and coolness factor aside, that building style made sense in the old days when power supplies didn't break and capacitors didn't leak, so there was very little chance of having to change a faulty part even after years of use. I still have some NOS capacitors from the 70s whose manufacturer is gone since ages, and they still exhibit higher capacitance than advertised and lower ESR than any new cheap Chinese counterparts which sometimes die within one year of use or less.
