[R-390] ReCap Kit

[DAVEINBHAM at aol.com]

Fellow R-390A drivers,

A few years back, I put together and  offered for sale a ReCap kit for the 
R-390A radio. 
The ReCap kit contained  the capacitors likely to need replacing in our 
R-390A's.
I discontinued the  ReCap kit when demand slackened to near zero.
Interestingly, I have received  3 inquiries in as many weeks wanting to know 
if ReCap kits are still  available.

So, what I need to know is there now a demand for ReCap  kits before I spend 
money to buy more capacitors ?

All capacitors  in the ReCap kit are brand new, recent manufactured and 
finest quality. 
No  NOS stuff. 

What you get is 10 little poly bags with the value(s)  of the capacitors 
clearly marked on the bag. No sorting from a pile  required.

Anyone interested in bringing back the ReCap kit, please  email me off list. 
Just say " I'm interested."
You are under absolutely  NO obligation to buy should I decide to do it.

I sold the old ReCap  kits for $80 including postage in USA, slightly 
higher to other countries. I  ship worldwide. 
I will try to do as close to that as possible with the new  one.


Kindest  regards,
Dave

R-390A  capacitor kit
I have put together a ReCap kit for the R-390A.
It consists  of:

(13) 0.1  ufd, 600 V
C256, C309, C504, C505, C517,  C521, C528, C531, C536, C538, C543, C547, C548

(7) 0.033 ufd,  600V
C275, C529, C533, C534, C541, C545, C602

(7) 0.01 ufd,  600V
C549, C553, C601, C604, C605, C607, C608

(3) 30 ufd, 300V  electrolytic C603A, C603B, C603C
(2) 47 ufd, 300V electrolytic C606A,  C606B
( The above electrolytics have  axial leads. You can wire them  under the
chassis and leave the originals in placeto retain stock appearance.  Or you
can order capacitors small enough to fit inside the cans of C603 &  C606. Just
remember you will have to deal with the Dreaded Black Ukkumpucky  to get the
guts out of the cans C603 & C606. If you do not specify at the  time of your
order, the under the chassis capacitors will be  shipped.)

Finally,one each of:
0.047 ufd. 100 V C227
8 ufd 30  V tantalum electrolytic C609
50 ufd 50 V electrolytic C103
0.22 ufd 100V  C101

I cannot find a source for:
2 ufd 500 V C551 oil filled  paper

so, I will I will include a very high quality poly cap. I  have installed one 
of
these in one of my R-390A's and I can say I cannot hear  any difference.They
work great. This is the AGC capacitor.
