ge superbase wont transmit. I just had an upgraded final and driver put in and still nothing. Any help would be great. Thank you
 

superbase

No it did not work when i got the radio. He found a bad final and driver in it and fix that part but still no tx.
 
had the same problem on my ge superbase, had no transmit and no ssb receive plunged in an external speaker and everything worked OK. Unplugged it, plunged external speaker back in, back to the same problem, Cleaned the external spk jack internal contacts and made sure of the solder connections on ext.speaker jack, all is working fine now.
 
Bad thing with these rigs are they were built using "dual-sided" PCB's! Traces on both sides of the boards that is. Also,they had holes in these boards that were junction points from one side to the other side and all the factory used was solder in many holes!!! DUH.... Thus relating to the many many problems they had/acquired with age. Very hard to locate those cold solder joints but a "competent" tech should be able to handle the job! Of course it will prolly cost more considering the extra time required in diagnosis. Good luck,Great ol rig for sure!!!

    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
