OK, I am tired of the drift and waiting for it to preheat before use, and want to put a "heater" in there to preheat the frequency section so it is always warmed. Where is the best place to put one?

I'm thinking a light bulb, of the 194 style, with the socket hot glued to the top cover just above it, hooked to the power socket so it is lit whenever power is to it. I use it as a base station these days, so killing a car battery is not an issue. I also have the bulbs used in the meters, as I replaced the meter in it as it quit on me one day, so I kept the light.

S/N 700368, it was purchased new in 96/97.

    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
