[R-390] Rectifier Stack Replacement

[Bob Camp]

Hi

I lost one in a 390A a long time back. I have also blown them in a  
couple of other types of gear. Each time the failure was more than  
just obvious. Major stinky smoke. Nasty, clear the room for a day  
stuff. Not quite as nice as burning sulfur or a sneaker jammed in the  
dryer. More like a skunk burning ....

Absolutely no chance to miss the fact that one has let loose. When  
they go it's *obvious*.
