Need some info on a Courier Gladiater. Crystal controlled.

Need to know What driver and final transistors are.
Also what X1 is (11 meg). All three components are missing.
Been 15 years since I opened the rig and would like to restore it.

Thanks
 

Without looking at the Sams, it would be a good guess the Driver was/is a 2SC1306, and Final a 2SC1307... I'll go in the back room in a few minutes here and confirm, as well as check on X1....
 
That would be great. I will let you know.
At the moment, the rx is decent so may need a slight touch up. Even with the driver and final removed and jumped it had a strong rf carrier. I was experimenting with this rig years ago and had removed and jumped the finals. Built a small 50 watt amp and installed in the back of the radio. The amp had smoked some months later and I never got around to repairing it.

But since I bought this thing when I was a teen ager I like to restore it.
Thanks for the help.

    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
