[R-390] Cap Request

[scott]

I use Bob's caps in all my early radio and TV restorations.  I have had no
problems with them.  Unfortunately, they are not from Japan but they are
from China.  I am in awe of my first R390A and I decided to order the OD cap
kit from Wesley Wilson.  I have a big inventory of Bob's china caps but I
just can't bring myself to put them in such a grand example of Americana.
