missing parts

Some of the missing parts near the big caps could be the bleeder resistors. While I don't have the same amp as you, most better amps have the bleeder resistors to bleed off the power from the big caps as a safety item. That way, your caps are not storing all that energy. The diodes may be something like a 1N4007. I'm not sure about the numbers. Just guessing on the diodes, but I think thats what mine has. I'm just going by memory. I'd have to open the bottom of my amp up and see.

    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
