[R-390] c603 c606 cores needed

I actually did the whole "re-stuffing" thing.  It involved cutting open the 
cases and cleaning out a messy tar like substance, then drilling and tapping 
for brass screws, and finally soldering the capacitors in place.  The cases 
were reassembled with epoxy.
When I was done there was one question.  Why did I do this?  It was a lot of 
work for little gain.

In 25 years, when these capacitors fail, I'm just gonna solder the new ones 
under the chassis........
