[Barry Williams]

Dave,

It is good to hear from you again. I still have one of your recap packs 
still here.  Glad you are still around.

> 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,

> 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.
