I did this at least three different times over a period of time.
Since the particular R-390A happens to be a "Blue-Striper", I have more
than enough to do than to spend the extra time to prove that I can do
this again.
I've got to move modules from the original chassis, it has the finger
stock corroded off, and move it into a different chassis.
There is a LOT more care required to get this radio back up to snuff.
So I'll pass on spending my efforts in re-stuffing those caps!
(It is not my first dance.)
