[R-390] The saga cont pt 7

[Craig C Heaton]

Brian,

Just mention the word "Capacitor" and the Kielbasa juice starts flowing. If
you go that route (Orange Drops), pick the voltage rating closest to the one
being replaced, maybe on step higher. They will fit. The few R-390A's which
crossed my repair bench took about two weeks for the first pass; trying to
restore. Gear train on the RF deck takes a while, only a few caps to replace
there. Darned IF takes a while, I get tired just looking and replace one
section per day. Audio board is a no brainer. 

After that peak n' tweak coils, cans, check signal plus noise vs noise, do
the math. Then fix other things that will pop up.

I'm staring at this IF deck, trying to figure out how the heck to get all
those Orange Drops in there, if that's the route I go...and going into total
information overload reading the "Capacitors" thread in Wei Li's "pearls".

Anyone got a pic of a deck with all Orange Drops just to reassure it can be
done?
