[Collins] re: Want R-388 Filter Cap

[Al Parker]

Hi Marty,
    A replacment might be just as bad, I don't think anyone makes them
just like that anymore.
    Why not re-stuff it yourself?  It's not hard, take a look at:
http://www.thecompendium.net/radio/filtercap.htm
    to see the process on the R-388, SP-600, and others.
    Or, I can do it for you for $20, plus postage.  I do need to re-do
yours, or swap, as I don't have enough old ones to provide one without a
trade-in.   They'll be 33mf A 450v, each secn.
    How are the bathtubs?  They can be done too.
    Yup, gotta watch those old micas too, been there.

Looking for the plug in filter cap for the power supply...For the repair I
have removed the shorted cap and replaced with axial lead units under the
chassis.
Another case of a shorted postage stamp mica cap as well with this unit. A
100uuf cap in the avc section made the avc inoperable as well as the audio
very distorted.

Thanks!
Marty
