[R-390] R390A Caps, Caps, Caps ad nauseaum

[robert.boyd at sdc-dsc.gc.ca]

Gentlemen:

Much as the back-and-forth is amusing, the bottom line is that in 40-50 year old equipment (including the undersigned) components may have to be replaced. What is a bit distressing about this is that having been a list/forum member for almost a year and just salivating to get my hands on one of these beauties I'm seeing the level of discourse on the "capacitor replace or not" topic slip, to put it mildly. 

Since I have your attention I'd like to request that any member having an extra R390A (or R392) that he'd like to part with to contact me off list. I promise to replace capacitors only when judged necessary

Thanks,

Robert, VE3BE/W1
