[R-390] Re Troubles, B+ capacitors

[nryan at mchsi.com]

Fellow mavens,

Some time ago, Jan Skirrow offered square plug-in cans, fitted with capacitors, ready to plug and play.  I haven't found them anywhere else.  To work right, the locating pin must be oriented properly, and the cans I've come across don't have that feature.

Alternatively, use bases from discarded 6080 or 6082 tubes.  Metal skirts surrounding the bases protect against contact with the hot leads from the capacitors and look kinda cool.  They fit fine and you don't have to discard the clamp.  I'll send a picture on request.
