[R-390] Mounting Replacement EMI Filter

[Charles Gessner]

GM All

I have a question. What is the best way to mount one of those replacement EMI filters for the R-390a?
I purchased a Corcom 6EHQ3 emi filter some time ago, as some has suggested in the past,  to replace the aging R-390a emi filter. The new
Corcom unit is fairly large, as compared to the original emi filter, and does not easily fit in the cabinet. I probably could mount it
on the outside rear panel, I really don't want to do that as I would like to keep the R390a as stock as possible.

Some time ago, I think about a year ago someone announced that they had worked up some sort of mounting kit to mount these type
filters. Alas, no other details have emerged that I am aware of.

I have also been trying to figure out how to get the ac power to the new Corcom filter. I would prefet not to drill holes in the rear
chassis. I have looked and looked for an a/c receptacle that will fit the one inch diamater hole at the rear of the R-390a.
So far, I have not found any. Some have suggested using an desktop computer power supply a/c connector. I actually tried
one of them, and found that they did not fit the one inch hole at the rear of the R-390a. Some have even suggested getting
a computer a/c connector with the emi filter. Again, same problem. How to mount it without cutting up the cabinet.

I have read and re-read all of the emails about the emi filter. Both the pro and con about changing them or not changing them.
I want to change mine.

I would appreciate any feed back about this project. I know that many of you folks reading the R-390a reflector have been through
this at one time or another. I also realize that some do not want to touch this project with a ten foot pole. I also know that many
of you have overcome this. I would, as I am sure others would, like to know how you accomplished this feat.
