[R-390] Ping Test

[rbethman]

Yep!  One on the bench.  Its a rough one.  I traded a '67 EAC for a 
Northern Radio SP-600.  It will serve in the meantime.

I ordered one of the last kits from Kiss-Electronics to rebuild my 
AN/URM-25D.  It works, but it is time to go through it and replace all 
the caps.  Meanwhile I'll use an HP-3336B to fill in.

Also have a TS-585D/U for the audio take-off to do things the right way.

I have to wait for good weather to do the front panel.  Issues of temp 
and/or humidity keep getting in the way of getting it done.  Not to 
mention family issues.  The XYL and I are getting old enough to have 
problems.  It reduces the time for working on things.

I am hoping that I don't have to open and fix a filter.  Worst case, 
I'll try and obtain another if it becomes an issue.

Still need to go back and make sure I didn't miss a cap or two.  I know 
a couple of solder stand-offs need replacing.  Have a stock to use.

I quit trying to re-stuff C-603 and C-606.  I ordered the pair from 
HayseedHamfest.  They are great!  made very well.
