I screwed myself here I traded this oldtimer my 4 pill for a palomar skipper 300 and he told me it worked got it home and hooked it up and nothing :confused:called him back to told me the driver tube was weak I looked through the top and 3 tubes in front are bright and 1 in back is dim so im iso a cheap tube it took me about 3 hours to work up the courage to take the tube out he told me it would kill me I had to short it out and stay far from it so I took a whip of an old Wilson 1000 and wrapped a towel around the end I was holding and tried to short it but no spark so I pulled it out thank god it was discharged lol thanks for looking 73's

    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
