[R-390] Postage stamp mica caps and AGG problems

[Perry Sandeen]

Yo Bubba Dudes!,
Postage stamp and sometimes dog bone caps continue to fail.  The maddening thing is they will check OK on the relatively simple capacitor checkers most of us have. Apparently microscopic *fingers* migrating through the insulation causes this effect.
AGC problems have been noted over the years with the OEM paper caps having leakage.
I annotated all the problem caps mentioned over the years on the R390A ski's I drew. If you take them to Kinko's or a FedEx shipping office, they can print them for you on their large printers for about $8 each. (There are two sheets.) so you can have prints that are about 18 X 36 inches.
I believe the TIFF files are available on the R390FAQ site.  If not and some one wants them just email me off list.
 I also have an extensively modded SP 600 ski, that's an upcoming project as well, that if anyone would like to have I can send that as well.
The best place I've found for reasonably priced dipped silver mica's ($. 69 each)is Dan's Small Parts, however he is closed until March due to an injury.  Just radios also carries them at $.99.

Regards,
Perrier
