I ONLY provided "the" list of what was offered back in 2001 to 2002.

I am NOT offering to sell or otherwise provide ANY packages or kits of 
components for working on the R-390A radios.

As was pointed out by another list member, THE "silver" colored, 
metallic cased tantalum capacitor on the Audio Deck circuit board, 
indeed had an acid based chemical component in its make-up.

They DO leak and burn through the board, IF they are left there.

The capacitor that protects the filters from B+, *should* be rated for 
1KV, per Chuck Rippel.  Others will certainly agree.
