[R-390] wrong part in RF deck found

[Tom Norris]

This is an addendum to my last post about poking around the
RF deck of the 63 Imperial --

I found a wrong part that looked as if it were there from production.
C275, originally a .005 mf, changed to .003 mf somewhere along the lines
according the mod notes in the TM. In mine it was a *.033 mf* big old paper
cap. It's just a bypass on the B+ to the first mixer, but still...
That big sheep lovin' BBOD appeared to have been there since the deck
was put together and not just a maintenance mistake. In fact the whole radio
doesn't look like it saw much use or maintenance at all. Other than a big Navy
ID tag glued on the front, along with an engraved tag that says "RCVR 1" under
the KC knob, the thing looked like it just came out of its crate. 
It's worked fine
for me the past ten years or so, so it should keep on ticking for 
quite a few more
years.
