[R-390] Old style Mica Capacitors

[Al Parker]

Hi Perry, et al,
    I wonder if "NOS" ones go bad at the same rate as ones in service? 
Having problems with some in R-388's & a few others nowadays.  The 100 mmf's 
in the AGC ckt in particular.  I've been using dipped micas as replacements, 
they're getting pricey.
    He does have some nice grab-bags tho', particularly if you use LV stuff.
