I think I've got it, replaced the internals with 3 new electrolytics
and, since I was a little aggressive removing the internals of
the old electrolytic (didn't realize how much "tar" there was
inside), found some aluminum tape and it looks pretty good.
Next time I'll use a razor saw and cut off only the rolled lip 
and "heat" the internals to remove them  ....outside.

Found a qty of "line to 4-8 ohm" transformers ...apparently 
they work well from 600 ohms to 8 ohms. Gads, I threw away 
about 20+ of them because I didn't know what they could be 
used for. The R-390A is playing already, but not on all bands. 
Jumpers on the terminal strips in back ....in the correct places,
makes a BIG difference.
