Need info on White Tornado 225 Plus.

One of the guys in my local radio club heard I was trying to get in to radio repair, starting on CBs, and gave me what appears to be a mint condition White Tornado 225 Plus. From some google searching it seems this is one of many variants of the same kicker, also branded as Shooting Star, Palomar, Galaxy, etc. It powers on, but that's the only testing I've done so far since I only have 3a and 7a power supplies on the workbench and not sure if the latter is enough to power this thing. Pulled the front and bottom panels off, board and components look incredibly clean, no signs of modification, damage, or anything burnt up.

I'm having trouble finding much info for it. I'd like to find a schematic, user manual, power ratings, power consumption, etc. Anyone here have any info on this device?

    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
