[R-390] Recap kit update

[DAVEINBHAM@aol.com]

Hi all,
I have received 3 requests in the last week wanting to know if the recap kit 
or the R-390A is still available. I am pleased to announce it is still 
available. 
I needed to buy some other parts for the company recently so I bought a 
few more capicators while I was at it. I now have 20 recap kits in stock 
for same day shipment. Half with in-the-can capacitors for C603 & C606,
half with under-the-chassis capacitors. 

In case you have not noticed, the price of capacitors has increased lately.
And tantalum capacitors have increased in price dramatically. I use a lot of 
tantalums in stuff for the company. Fortunately, there is only 1 tantalum
in the R-390A recap kit. Even so, my profit margin on the recap kit is now 
thinner than a gnat's ass streached over a number 2 washtub ( under $2 ).
Bottom line, it will likely be necessary for me to raise prices after this 
batch 
of R-390A recap kits is sold. So, get 'um now before the price increase.

In regard to the long awaited recap kits for the R-390 nonA and the SP600,
I am still working on them but they have had to take a back seat to my wife's 
medical problems. She has spent Christmas & New Years in the hospital
and, in fact, had another major surgery today. I will get to 'em soon as I 
can.

Regards,
Dave

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.
