[R-390] Mechanical Filter - Cracked Glass Seal

[Jon Schlegel]

Hi All,

I discovered that one of my mechanical filter input terminals on has 
a cracked glass seal.  It's very subtle and exhibits only the 
slightest of motion.  The post is bent and no doubt is the cause of 
the damage.  I need to do a complete check but believe the filter to 
be electrically ok.

My thought for repair is simply to build up around the post with some 
generic two part epoxy and then designate that terminal as "ground", 
not really knowing what hi Z properties epoxy from the hardware store 
might have.

Any thoughts on what might make a better repair than glopping on some 
hardware store epoxy?
