[Premium-Rx] R-390A Capacitors.

Hi,

I acquired a couple of R-390A's over the weekend, both of which require 
a lot of TLC, but are in clean original condition.

One of the things I want / need to do is to replace the two plug in 
Octal base caps on the audio deck (need to, as one has already expired 
spectacularly during initial testing, filling my shack with a 
spectacular cloud of smoke).....

I know I can rebuild the existing caps, but it's a horrid messy job, so 
would prefer to buy some "new" plug in replacements.

I'm aware that Hayseed Hamfest in the states sell these, but being in 
the UK I'll be hit with stupidly high import duties, and VAT, so am 
looking for a supplier in the EU.

I'm sure the last ones I brought came from an Ebay seller in Germany who 
also sells "new" drop in replacement parts, but can't find any contact 
details, and none are listed on Ebay at present.

Does anyone have details of the German supplier?

Cheers,
Dave.S.
