[R-390] CV-591

[Jim Brannigan]

An update:
I've been working on this radio for a while.  All the paper tubular capacitors were replaced.  
The first variable oscillator is unstable so I started to selectively replace by-pass and coupling capacitors.  
As the "postage stamp" silver micas and tubular micas are pulled, I check them and have found that they are all VERY leaky.
I finally realized that this radio will require a TOTAL re-cap to bring it back to spec.

This unit has been in use for quite a while and I am surprised at the deterioration of the components.
