I have this nice Royce 642 that I had bought some months ago as non-working. Well I hooked it up and it lit up, I put one of my good mics on it and it wouldn't talk or receive :( Very dissipointed but not surprised.

Fast forward to tonight and 75 and I were messaging on WWDX, he mentioned the mic. Then it dawned on me that it didn't come with a mic, but I have another Royce that has one. Well it that was it, the ol radio talked to the Buckeye on 38 LSB, the first time its talked in no telling when. Man what a set of ears it has--Great radio!!

Thank you 75 for helping to figure it out, good folks here on WWDX.

Farmer Brown said that and I'm over and out.
 

Good deal. Love firing up the old rigs.

Wonder if I can get him to look at my old Eico...
I would think so, the Royce is going to him for refurbish as soon as this manual comes in.
If you don't have one for the Eico, may look on fleabay, there are tons of them.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
