Heathkit AR2 filter can ID help needed.

I just started work on this Heathkit AR2 and have a bit of a mystery. This filter can is obviously not original but a newer replacement.



My problem is figuring out how new. It has no date on it. It looks very similar to the ones sold by Hayseed Hamfest but doesn’t appear to be one of theirs. Has anyone seen one like this before? Any idea how new it might be? All other caps and components in this radio appear to be virgin.

It appears to be made within the past 10 years so it should be fine as long as the values match up to your schematic.

Thanks! I ran across a picture of one of the older Hayseed Hamfest can caps and it's identical. Saves me some trouble.
