[NJARC] Thrift STore Parts on a US Navy Ship

[E. Suhaka]

The Army trained me to repair R-390A's.  I was in Japan and Korea and 
can say that from time to time a part purchased on the local economy was 
put into a piece of military gear.

Also, in Japan we had a Tektronix scope, maybe a 545, that demanded only 
one particular brand of 6DJ8 in the trigger circuit to work properly, no 
other would do the job.

Bill,
You should never use the words "caps" and "pop" in the same sentence.

73,
Ed  N2COV
