[R-390] Out from the shadows ...

[Dave Maples]

All: As an aside, I just finished recapping an old AM-FM broadcast-grade
monitor tuner (Meissner).  I didn't use the orange-drops; I chose some
different axial-lead caps from ARS that were referred to on one of the lists
recently.  I really liked the way they went in, and the specs seem to be as
good or better than the ODs in this application.  The tuner sure did like
them also, if the performance is any indication.

I used ODs on my 390A, but I wanted to pass this along for what it's worth.
I highly recommend looking the specs over and drawing your own conclusions.

I also concur with the assessment about the need to replace the filter
killer cap.  It's too cheap a thing to do to not do it and not provide
additional protection for the very-hard-to-find filters.  That's one I won't
stand on ceremony over.

As for the others, I'm not going to give an opinion.
