[R-390] Power Supply Module caps

[Barry]

I saw one example where a fellow just ran the + ends down through the octal socket pins and soldered them underneath.  The - ends were drawn up together to a solder lug and secured to the top of the threaded standoff that's used to secure the original caps.  It requires the octal sockets to have holes through those pins and I think some of them do anyway.  All-in-all, a pretty simple job with minimal expenditure.

I went to the trouble of building square aluminum housings for a couple of pairs of them with aluminum tops and octal relay plugs.  Neat job but more trouble than was necessary without a machine shop handy.
