[R-390] Saturday's Line & Local Report

[Jbrannig at verizon.net]

Same here.
I cut open the filter caps and cleaned them out, then drilled and tapped the 
aluminum and put in brass screws, soldered in the capacitors and closed the 
cans with JB Weld.....

As they say "I done it" it was not worth the effort.  Solder new capacitors 
to the lugs at the bottom of the sockets and be done with it......

List,

Craig,  I've been through the re-stuffing route.  I've also left the
sockets open and mounted new Electrolytic Capacitors underneath below
the PTO.

I've finally come to going to <www.hayseedhamfest.com>.

Specifically: <http://hayseedhamfest.com/cartview.html?id=12>

I got tired of the battle.  YMMV and this IS your receiver.

I found it to be a great product!  No, Tom does NOT compensate me one
little bit.

I am simply a very satisfied customer.  I've obtained these, and a
complete recap kit for an HRO-50-T1.

Tom and the family crew also make up kits for things on request. No
*special* charge for this either.
