[R-390] Capacitor replacement when restoring

[Paul H. Anderson]

When doing replacement of caps be aware that the heat on the leads to
posts that also go to resistors can cause the carbon comp resistors to
drift.  When I replace bad resistors, I check before and after and
frequently have noted an additional 10% drift after removal.  So, check
resistances after replacing other components.  I haven't done an
exhaustive study or anything, but they certainly can change value quickly!
