[R-390] AGC Cap Revisited

[Tim Shoppa]

Barry,
  Very nice approach.

  I have recently taken to building new multi-section
filter capacitor cans not by cutting up the old can
and removing the umpucky and glueing back together
when done, but by:

1. Using Garolite/Glass Epoxy tube and top/bottom caps.

2. Putting swaged Keystone terminals in the bottom as
appropriate. You can get them in turret style, in
pin style (as for a socket), in fork style, etc.

3. Building up from scratch.

It doesn't look identical to the original but it looks nice.

The insulating base and  tube is very handy where the
original cap was part of a voltage multiplier and the
original can had a few hundred volts on it. Yikes, maybe
that's why the factory manual shows a cardboard cover
on the can!

Tim.
