List,

Going back to November 2007, <DAVEINBHAM at aol.com>, was putting together 
re-cap kits for the R-390As.


The kit consisted of:

R-390A  capacitor kit
I have put together a ReCap kit for the R-390A.
It consists  of:

(13) 0.1  ufd, 600 V
C256, C309, C504, C505, C517,  C521, C528, C531, C536, C538, C543, C547, C548

(7) 0.033 ufd,  600V
C275, C529, C533, C534, C541, C545, C602

(7) 0.01 ufd,  600V
C549, C553, C601, C604, C605, C607, C608

(3) 30 ufd, 300V  electrolytic C603A, C603B, C603C
(2) 47 ufd, 300V electrolytic C606A,  C606B
( The above electrolytics have  axial leads. You can wire them  under the
chassis and leave the originals in place to retain stock appearance.  Or you
can order capacitors small enough to fit inside the cans of C603 &  C606. Just
remember you will have to deal with the Dreaded Black Ukkumpucky  to get the
guts out of the cans C603 & C606. If you do not specify at the  time of your
order, the under the chassis capacitors will be  shipped.)

Finally,one each of:
0.047 ufd. 100 V C227
8 ufd 30  V tantalum electrolytic C609
50 ufd 50 V electrolytic C103
0.22 ufd 100V  C101

I cannot find a source for:
2 ufd 500 V C551 oil filled  paper

so, I will I will include a very high quality poly cap. I  have installed one
of these in one of my R-390A's

********************************************

This was a very large black poly cap rated at 500V.

I procured two of these kits from Dave, no longer with us, and wouldn't remotely recommend *anything* less than a 500V Poly Cap for C-551
