Maybe you guys who have been around longer than I have can give me a better insight. I've been around long enough and have owned enough of the rk56 and can tell a real telex from the newer versions or new chinese versions. On the older let's just say real turner/telex there is are stamped numbers on the pcb underneath the ptt switch. Example 06 126 1 is on the inside of one of that I have. Can anyone here tell me how to identify the year made by looking at those stamped numbers. Just from my own assumptions, I'd say the example I put would mean 2006 but I'm only guessing.... the reason I'm asking here.

    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
