[R-390] AF Deck Caps

[Steve Toth]

I'm using the Sigmapert replacements in two of my R390A's that Chuck Rippel worked on as well as the solid state 3TF7 replacements.  Very nice looking and well made with quality components.  The caps look factory and you can use the mounting hardware.

IF, and I stress IF, you want to go the least expensive route - or want a temporary solution until you can save up for more expensive replacements - I would suggest, at the risk of being heretical, picking up a couple of small octal base relays for cheap and stuffing them with small correct value and voltage electrolytics.  I have that too in another R390A and it works fine.  They fit very well in the space, look OK, and mount securely in the octal sockets so the clamps aren't needed, AND the electrolytics are a snap to solder into the base pins.

 Hello all...I'm sure this has been
 mentioned quite a few times and for some reason I cannot not
 find a supplier that sells the plug in caps for the AF deck
 of a 390A.  Am I dreaming here or is there someone out
 there that actually supplies new replacements because I
 thought I saw a listing at one point somewhere....???
 
 Any help would be appreciated.
 
 Thanks again,
 
 Dave
