Hi Joe,
Joe -
Well, the first question is, where do you come up with five caps? The
original R-4A is a three section, 100/100/100 @ 200 VDC. Another
section, 20 @ 200 was added 'officially' in the second version, at s/n
3040. But both three and four sections caps have been found 'in the
wild' in
Joe,
You can buy complete re-capping kits for the R-4A (both 13 and 11-tube
versions) from Hayseed Hamfest at the following link:

I just re-capped one of each type using the Hayseed Hamfest kits and
they work
Just for everyone's info I just got done conversing with Tom at Hayseed about
kits and shipping charges. If you order multiple kits the PayPal system will
include S/H for EACH kit but as Tom pointed out there is a maximum
shipping/handling charge of $10; until he can fix the web site system
