Golden Falcon 400 tube amp

Then the reason you have no RF power is that you don't have high voltage on the tubes.

You should hear some activity from the transformer, a buzz, growl or tone.

If not, you probably need a set of six of those doorknob transistors.

Or, more correctly two matched sets of three.

Maybe. Other things can shut down the high voltage.

But blown power transistors was the most-common cause back when we were still willing to fix these.

A long time ago.

    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
