I have a 959 and the driver and final has no numbers or marking as to what they are.. How do you know what is in it? It was made 7\10. I check and all the parts are still in it that was to be removed when replaceing 1969 with a mosfet.. Any help appreciated!!
Thanks

Others can confirm this, but if it's manufacture date is July 2010, it is already equipped with a Mosfet.

Notice the manufacture date on this 959 - 9/07. Now a quote from the review:

These radios used to come equipped with 1969 finals but now are being made with the mosfet transistors. I did have a chance to use one with the newer transistors and found that the mosfet equipped radios will have around 5-8 watts more peak output on average.
 
Yeah you're good to go

And mosfets are better. More power and bigger swing = LOUDER = better for barefoot or driving an amp either one.

With a proper peak & tune that 959 can do around 35 watts p.e.p. May want to then add a heat sink to the back.

Good luck

Mosfets aren't louder, that's just silly. Mosfets do not handle abuse and heat like the 1969s do.....but they do more peak watts.

    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
