[R-390] HOW to .....?

[jbrannig]

The R-390A cap was a bit more complicated.
The base pins are aluminum and can't be soldered.I drilled and tapped the pins to accept brass screws and soldered the capacitor leads to the screwsI don't remember where I saw this.
 A pipe cutter opened the cans and Epoxy closed 
If there is room under the chassis, just solder the caps to the bottom of the sockets.It is a lot easier

Hi Pete,
	Ihave some info and pix on how I've done it for several different caps 
on one of my webpages.  Don't picture the R-390A ones there I don't 
think, but I've done them similarly.
