I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but here's an idea for reusing those old SO-239-style antenna mounting studs. If the main body of the SO239 section is in decent shape, use a punch/vice or other method to drive out the "guts". Locate a retainer nut from an old CB or HAM radio's SO239 fitting along with appropriate washer(s), and you have a ready-made bulkhead feed-through for some pretty big cable. Or a bundle of cables for that matter.

Remember, a true DIY-er never throws anything away, because "you never know".

    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

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
  • @ heartbreaker3473:
