[R-390] Capehart update

[Ronnie Davis]

Hello again
Just got back in the house after pulling the AF deck out and recapping it
with one of Walter Wilson's kits. Was not quite as bad as I thought it would
be. The radio is working again, but still needs alot more attention. I still
have to rebuild the filter caps C603 and C606, both have corrosion leaking
out. I have the caps to do it, but I am a little hesitate about jumping on
that job. Does anyone have any hints on the job? I still do not know how the
radio is working without the ballast tube? I can not find any jumpers or
extra resistors anywhere? Well I guess it is because im a true beginner and
I do not know where to look hi. I am learning more everyday, and maybe in a
couple of weeks this radio will be a truly good performer.
Thanks for all the help
Ronnie
