[R-390] Filter cap temperature

[John KA1XC]

There's hot audio output tubes running right next to it. The 2 uF AGC cap in 
the IF deck runs warm too for same reason, it's surrounded by tubes.

If you want to be thorough then rebuild them, it's good messy fun. I found 
an open crimp connection in the last pair I did.

Congrats on fixing the B+ problem!
