[R-390] caps

[wli]

Well, the BBOD's in my R390A's have all leaked when tested at 250v using the previously published method of employing a 11M VTVM in series with the HV supply. So count me in the camp of global replacement of all of those 60 year old paper caps. Not one SBE Orange Drop has failed on me. No question, fitting OD's in the IF deck is not easy, but if you think ahead and take your time, it is entirely possible. Once done, I can move on to other stuff.   W. Li
