[Collins] REPLACEMENT CAPS

[KU4YP]

i agree,

    i am also a very satisfied customer of just radios. the purchase was a
breeze. he calls the 630 volt caps "orange dips." made a world of difference
in my hq-129x where i had several failing/questionable paper caps.

    no dog in the hunt, just a satisfied customer.
