[R-390] R-390 plug-in caps and underside Photo(s) needed

[Bob Camp]

Hi

Several ways to fix the electrolytics (they do fail). 

1) Wire parts under the chassis and leave the originals there to look pretty 
2) Pull the guts out of the originals and stuff them with replacement parts
3) Get an octal (?) plug and wire up the replacements on that. Plug them in and done ….

I’m sure there are at least 20 other ways to do it.
