[R-390] Re: [R-390A] Electrolytic Can Filters C603 & C606

[Jim Brannigan]

BTW, Antique Radio has replacement electrolytics for the 75S receivers.
They are $29 or so.
Worthwhile because the can is too small to rebuild and there is very little
room in the power supply section of the chassis to fit three replacement
capacitors.
