[R-390] IF module C553

[SRosenberg at nyiso.com]

Hi Guy's,

I have a two R390a's. One is a EAC 67 vintage. I was checking the IF 
module for "Black Beauties". The C553 is a silver hermetically sealed cap 
made by West. Are these risky to be left in place??

The other R390a is an original Collins single fuse model. I'm going to 
install the separate B+ fuses but the question is does this effect the 
value of the radio? I was thinking of putting the fuses on a bracket 
inside the radio as opposed to drilling holes in the rear panel.
