Just picked this up. In decent shape aside from some obvious tinkering. No tag/ID on this unit.

Couldn't tell you the type.
Looks to be 4 similar tubes plus one smaller.
Looked up some Elkin pics; I think this is what it is.
The switches on my unit are only labeled on/off.
Knobs are unmarked. Some one added labels for ant/radio.
 
YEP

ELKIN FOR SURE THE BEST EVER MADE . DO NOT DRIVE NOTHING INTO BUT A 30 TO 50W RADIO AND IT ONLY WANT 1-3 WATTS DEAD KEY!!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE A 8 TUBE SHOULD HAVE 12DQ6 TUBES IN IT AS ALL THE 4/6/8 HAD 12DQ6 TUBE IN THEM. IF YOU WANT TO SELL IT LET ME KNOW AS I COLLECT THEM . I DONT LIVE FAR FROM ELKIN NC :) BUT I LIVE 15 MILES FROM A TECH THAT BUILT THESE AMP FOR 15 YRS.

    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
