[R-390] Filters

[quartz55]

That link to collinsfilter is for the old sytle.  Mine has no connection from the top to bottom end caps.  Anyhow, I've got it apart.  Bottom came off not to hard with the small butane torch, but the wires broke off while removing the cap.  It's really hard to work fast and get it hot enough to pull off easily.  The top end was a real problem since I was trying to save the label and I wrapped a wet paper towel around the label.  It just would not come off with the butane torch, I tried a heat gun and it wouldn't even melt the solder, so I broke out the propane torch which was much easier to work with since the butane torch I have to keep my thumb on it and it's really hard to keep down.  Anyhow the top end came out with a swoosh and pulled out the whole filter assembly with it.

Don't know if I just have a mess right now? I'll clean it up and see what I have.
