[R-390] C-103 cap replacement

[Roger Ruszkowski]

Fred,

Today any good 10 - 20 mfd. 300 450 - 600 VDC.
The C103 can be re stuff ed like the r390A fellows are doing to the R390A plug in caps.
Some other nice cap can could be used for a package.

Hang an electrolytic can  on a surface mount clamp base.
a 300 volt of better 10Mfd total cap or better.
Wire the new cap in.

How you do it becomes an craft project.
How you do it reflects on your soul.

Easy Fix as new parts are smaller.

Respectfully,

Roger AI4NI

Good afternoon all,   What is a suitable replacement for:    C103, 10 mfd. 300vdc oil filled cap. B+ line, in the R-390/URR ?This is the big round grey  cap mounted on the chassis near the front. In the  R-390-A,  C103, 50 mfd. @ 50vdc oil filled bath tub style, on the cathode bias line ?I have several R-390/URR  with the original oil filled caps and  2 R-390-A thathave damaged C-103 caps.  I'm thinking electrolytic in both cases.  Any ideas ?Thanks and 73'sFredAA8S______________________________________________________________R-390 mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/r-390Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:R-390 at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
