[R-390] Restoration of 1952 Collins # 252

[Bill Smith]

Hi, Scott

I won't say they will never go bad, but the R-390 here has Vitamin Q caps,
and I haven't found any with leakage in this set.  The two AVC oil-filled
are doubtless leaky, however.  Also, have replaced several leaky mica caps
in the front-end RF cans.
