[R-390] Cap Request

Mon, 10 Jun 2002 10:01:20 -0700

Bob's Antique Radios.  He doesn't charge shipping, just send him a check,
and he sends you capacitors.  They usually arrive surprisingly quickly.

He sells yellow, axial tubular mylar capacitors.  They are made it Japan and
seem to be of excellent quality.
They are of common values only, and sold in lots of 25, but at $8.00 or less
a package, they are a bargain.

> I'm now the proud owner of my second R390A.  I've examined the AF and IF
decks and see the need for some capacitor work.  Does anyone have any
suggestions for good axial caps to replace black beauties, etc.?  I did a
DaveInBham cap kit for my Motorola and it works great, but some of those ODs
were a royal pain to fit in place due to their being radial-leaded rather
than axial.

I don't mind the waxy type if they're good quality.  Any suggestions?
