They always have more than one supplier to secure the supply chain.

Subject: [R-390] EAC "Rocketship" IF Deck Recap.

Started digging into my recent EAC purchase, and began with recapping 
the IF deck.  The installed caps all look original, but there were a 
mixture of the the hermetic paper-in-oil West-Caps, one Sprague Vitamin 
Q, 2 of the infamous Brown Beauties, and 2 different styles (round and 
oval cross section) of CDE film caps. Was it usual for a wide variety of 
different capacitor types to make it into one module, or could this be a 
result of the lateness of the production, and using up whatever parts 
were left in the bins? There were 0.1 uF caps from 4 different 
manufacturers in this thing!

All being replaced with 630V rated mylar film caps, including the 2 uF 
AGC cap, which is being stuffed inside the original can.


73,
