[R-390] Part(s) wanted (twin electrolytic filter cap)

[Bill Smith]

Try "Bob's Antique Radios" for great boatanchor replacement caps and
electrolytics.

10uf caps @ 450VDC are fine as tolerance is very wide on these parts.

I have rebuilt electrolytic cans by slicing them apart just above the base
with a Dremel tool and cutting wheel, gutting the contents, then fitting the
void with new electrolytic caps.  I then fit the cut tube over the old base
(the end of the aluminum shell can be expanded by reaming it with a closed
set of pipe pliers or similar) and glue it back together with super-glue.

Most of the time there is plenty of space to hold the new caps inside the
aluminum can.
