My New President Toy...

I shared this new toy on another site so I figured I would share it on here as well....I figured maybe someone would appreciate it.

Got this a few weeks back and have kicked around the idea of parting with it or turning it into a neat little project with some simple upgrades. It's been Sparky peaked, tuned, and some of the internal components replaced. It's ready for another 35 years of talking...I figure if it sits here any longer I'm going to replace the channel readout to blue, along with the trasmit light. The meter light will get a super bright white replacement. I might have my tech install an internal amp as well. I have a replacement button coming for the PA/CB. Everyone says it's a great sounding radio on the air around here and I'm happy with it.

Very nice find. Do yourself a favor and keep it stock as much as possible and in the shape it's in now. That's how you wind up appreciating this little gem 25 years from now.

    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
