[R-390] R-390A RF slugs "spring" replacement

[Jordan Arndt]

Hi Jacques and all...

I haven't actually tried to repair those 2 slugs with brass guitar string 
yet because I had enough "spares" thanks to you and another fellow who's 
name I don't recall offhand.

I've been looking at using phosphor bronze acoustic instrument string, but 
haven't gone too deep into looking for the right type...

What did you come up with...??? I could give it a shot...!
