[R-390] Power Supply Module caps

[Roger Ruszkowski]

Barry,

I saw one example where a fellow just ran the + ends down through the octal 
ocket pins and soldered them underneath.  The - ends were drawn up together to 
 solder lug and secured to the top of the threaded standoff that's used to 
ecure the original caps.  It requires the octal sockets to have holes through 
hose pins and I think some of them do anyway.  All-in-all, a pretty simple job 
ith minimal expenditure.
I went to the trouble of building square aluminum housings for a couple of pairs 
f them with aluminum tops and octal relay plugs.  Neat job but more trouble 
han was necessary without a machine shop handy.

 Fellows,
 
 I have cleaned out a number of octal relays and stuffed new caps into the
 relay cases. These then want to set off with a 1 pin rotation 1/8 turn. So I 
et
 out thedemeral tool and grind off the key. Then build then to set square into 
he
 socketsand look better. It is a plug and play mod that can go back if you find
 some plugin cansof get your old ones restuffed. Case size does mater when you 
ry to stuff
 the tripplebut cases are available. I have removed the plastic rapper off a 
et once
 just to get thethree of the caps packed into the case.
