[R-390] Re: Caps and more caps

[Dallas Lankford]

Yes.  Of course, you are right.  This is basically what I said a few emails
ago which, apparently, the capacitor replacers failed to read.  So here it
is again for those who missed or ignored it the first time around.

If you all are talking about those rained-on, snowed-on, sun-baked, frozen,
left in the parking lot for years, or otherwise abused R-390A's, then my
remarks about capacitors do not apply to them.  I would not touch one of
those with a 10 foot pole.  There are people who believe they can be
rebuilt.  I don't.  I wouldn't buy any R-390A nowadays that I couldn't
personally inspect before I bought it, or that didn't come with a return
guarantee that it hasn't been abused.
