Hi

I seem to remember that American Trans Coil had IF decks with all the 
filters on them for about $72 a while back. They are at 
http://www.atc-us.com/ATCSHOP/  If they still have them that's a lot 
less than $175. There's no guarantee that the filters on their units 
are good, but the ones I have gotten from them in the past have worked 
fine.

The new proprietor of the R-390 end of ATC is a regular list member so 
he might know a bit more about what they do and don't have.

I have never attempted the repair process on the filters so I will 
leave description of that to others here on the list ....

	Take Care!
