i just bought a nice cobra cam 88 sometimes it wont key and when it does no modulation ive checked mic that is ok ive checked all tubes some cheks weak but none actually checks bad any one have any suggestions HELP
 

Also try pulling out each one of the tubes and cleaning each pin and clean the tube sockets. This is very common for a radio of this age.Do that first and if that doesn't solve the problem you then need to find a schematic and trace the audio chain.Hope this helps..DAVE

    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
