Here we go again.

Dan,
What kind of beer do you drink ? As a good rule of thumb, the lousier the 
beer, the colder it should be served and vice versa.
American made near beers ( any "lite" beer ) are so watered down they lack 
taste so you have to drink 'em almost freezing to keep from gagging. 
Good beer ( English, German & Irish & others ) should be consumed much warmer 
in order to fully enjoy the flavors they present. 
Go buy yourself a six pack of Samuel Smith's Old Taddyporter and cool one 
beer down just like you do yer Miller Lite and cool one down to about 50F. 
Now, drink 'em. The " warm" one first then the icy cold one. You will find 
out what I mean .
If you have any taste buds left, you will really like the " warm" ( 50F ) 
beer better
If you like clear beers, try the same experiment with Saint Pauli Girl or 
Beck's.
 
Now, how the devil can I make this post R-390 connected ? 
Oh yes, I am sitting here at the keyboard not far from the radio listening to 
the Salsa music coming from Radio Havana and drinking one of my homemade 
Stout style beers as I type this. Several pleasures at the same time. Life 
can be beautiful.

Regards,
Dave

PS. The interest last few days in the ReCap kits had been pheneomenal. All 
but one in-the-can and 2 under-the-chassis kits are now spoken for. Thanks, 
guys.

R390A capacitor kit.
I have put together a ReCap kit for the R390A.
It consists of:

(13) 0.1 ufd
C256, C309, C504, C505, C517, C521, C528, C531, C536, C538, C543, C547, C548

(7) 0,033 ufd
C275, C529, C533, C534, C541, C545, C602

(7) 0.01 ufd
C549, C553, C601, C604, C605, C607, C608

( The above are Orange Drops or equivelent. )

(3) 30 ufd 300 v electrolytic C603A, C603B, C603C
(2) 47 ufd 300 v electrolytic C606A, C606B

( The above electrolytics have axial leads. You can wire them under the 
chassis and leave the originals in place to retain stock apperance. Or you 
can order capicators small enough to fit inside the cans of C603 & C606. Just 
remember you will have to deal with the Dreaded Black Ukkumpucky to get the 
guts out of the cans of C603 & C606. If you do not specify at time of your 
order, the under the chassis capacitors will be shipped.)

Finally, one each of :

0.047 ufd 100v C227
8 ufd 30v tantalum electrolytic C609
50 ufd 50 v electrolytic C103
0.22 ufd 100 v C101

I cannot find a source for:
2 ufd 500v C551 oil filled paper 

so, I will include a very high quality poly cap. I have installed one of 
these in one of my R390A's and I can say I cannot hear any difference. They 
work great. This is the AGC capacitor.

The price for this recap kit is $80.00 US funds. Price includes UPS or US 
post delivery. Canada and mexico US$85. Western Europe, South America and 
Pacific rim US$90, rest of world US$93. All sent airmail if possible. ALABAMA 
RESIDENTS MUST ADD US$3 STATE SALES TAX.

Send orders to:
Dave Holder
Biological Instruments, Inc.
820 South 29 th. Street
Birmingham, Alabama 35205-1004
USA
Payment may be check or US currency. ( If you send cash put it in an envelope 
inside the envelope you mail. AND IT IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR RISK) Sorry, no 
credit card orders.

Before anyone starts to bitch about the price, please bear in mind, my gross 
profit will be about $3.12 per order. That should earn me something less than 
minimum wage..... before corporate and personal taxes. I reserve the right to 
withdraw this offer if it gets to be a pain in the butt.
