[R-390] Capehart update

Ronnie,

I've replaced the audio deck PS filter caps by placing individual replacement
caps under the audio deck.

The top looks naked, but looks better than having a cluster of electrolytics
sticking out the top IMO.

Some guys have cut open the old cans, put new caps in and sealed them back up
for plug in replacement.
