[R-390] replacing components

[David C. Hallam]

Some times it is nearly impossible to get to the lug. Older radios often 
are a rats nest of wiring having buried connections where it might be 
necessary to remove several other components to get to the one you want. 
  The spiral wrap connectors are a very useful tool.
