[R-390] Which Orange Drops?

[Tisha Hayes]

715's are fine. I ended up with some 716's when I purchased the closeout
inventory of an electronics parts company. Other than being physically
bigger I could find no meaningful improvement.

If you go with things like 600 volt caps you may find that they are too big
to fit into the available space. Pick up some teflon tubing for lead
insulation. I promise you that the caps will not fit perfectly into the
little, allocated spaces that the older caps had.

Think about the maximum possible voltage you may see in an SP-600 (B+ supply
running wild, like if you leave the radio in standby mode with the solid
state rectifier mod). A 600 volt cap is an overkill.

I may try to run an orange drop to destruction, just to see how far I can
push it before failure, I think the Sencore could do it.
