Anyone have any info on this bucket?

Picked one up. Is clean. Being shipped - don't have it yet. States 250 watts on front so assuming it's a 2 pill. Has preamp.

Know what kind of pills it came with?

Have 12V out connections on rear?

Shows both sides covered in heat sink.

Silver box.

Any info appreciated ! Nothing really on google
 

Came back to add discovered info.

Arrived today in good shape. This one looks like it had been taken good care of.

Is 2 X 2290 with preamp, Hi/Low switch and automatic sideband. Has large, heavy transformer and large filter capacitor inside. No 13.8V output terminals so this is an amp only and not an amp / power supply combo like it's bigger brother 350 is.

Working well and as you would expect any 2 X 2290 to work. With 2.5 input, is dead keying about 45 watts on low and swinging to 225 on whistle. Easy average voice peaks of 175~200 watts. Dead key (low) increases to about 65 watts with 4 watt input and will do 250 on whistle. HI setting increases dead key around 15-20 watts.

Good find!

    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
