"I'd say it's worth scrapping the internal supply's regulator and transformer to install a fifty-buck switchmode brick."

I wouldn't completely scrap the internal supply. I can think of several ways to re-purpose the transformer.
turned around backwards , rectified and doubled its' about 1625VDC. Useful for attaching to yard art that
the zombies, meth monkeys and non specific morons won't leave alone.
Rectified and filtered (still backwards) it's just over 800VDC and useful for building a go-no go sweep tube tester.
Voltages and current won't be ideal because it's backwards YMMV.

I now return you to our regularly unscheduled postings

    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
