Anyone have a better list?


                   Nolan's R-390A/URR Master Capacitor List
                           Revision 0.2 BETA (5/6/99)
                              nlee at gs.verio.net


This list is still "BETA". As a result has NOT been checked as closely
for errors as usual. Please drop me a message if I left anything out or
if you spot an error and I'll correct it and re-post. Thanks, nolan

C101   0.22mf   100 WVDC  20%  paper
C102   5000pf  1000 WVDC  15%  ceramic
C103   50mf      50 WVDC  ??%  electrolytic industry # CE64C500G (1)
C104   ???     ???? WV?C  ??%  inside of line filter. I need the specs.
C105   ???     ???? WV?C  ??%  inside of line filter. I need the specs.
C106   ???     ???? WV?C  ??%  inside of line filter. I need the specs.
C107   ???     ???? WV?C  ??%  inside of line filter. I need the specs.

(1) This is the bathtub style capacitor mounted below the line
     filter on the rear panel. It is NOT an oil filled paper cap
     even though it looks like one. Watch the polarity.

(z) actual value depends on mod level, I'll add details when
     I have time
(4) This is the stud mounted oil filled capacitor located on the
     top side of the chassis next to V201, the 6DC6.
(5) Not used on early receivers. C256 is used to silence hash/static
     from HR202 Crystal Oven. Less expensive CDE polyester should work
     fine at this location.

(x) value depends on mod level of IF deck. I'll add details later...
(2) Oil filled metal can paper capacitor mounted to top side of
     chassis next to chassis harness connector.
(3) Blocking cap for mechanical filters. Recommend working voltage
     of 600VDC or higher to help decrease the chance of frying the
     mechanical filters due to failure of C553. This is not a good
     location to use a cheap replacement capacitor.

(6) For improved audio performance, you can use .022uf caps at this
     location.

(7) Also known as "the capacitor that rots off". Leaks sulfuric acid
     when the seals fail. Watch the polarity when replacing.
