[Boatanchors] Large original size filter caps

[Al Parker]

HI folks,
    Or, cut the old ones open & restuff them.  I've done it several times,
and am abt to do the plug-ins for 2 R-388's.  You can see my work as
applied to a Drake at:
 http://www.thecompendium.net/radio/filtercap.htm
    And I've done bathtubs, too, you don't even have to cut them to get
them open.  I'll get some pix of that (& the R-388 ones) on a separate
page when I get a round tuit.
73,
