[R-390] C227 in R390A

So far no problems with that one. Never cut one open to see if it is oil filled? YMMV

Craig,

Greetings all... I have a 1963 vintage R390A that I’m going through.
Right now, the RF section is getting attention.  But I’m wondering whether C227, the stud mounted cap on the RF deck should be replaced.  I usually terminate and replace all paper caps without prejudice in vintage electronics, but I believe this one is an oil- filled cap and may be more reliable than the brown beauties and their waxy cousins.
What say you?  Use it or lose it?
