Replace all 4 transistors... Bob is correct in saying this.

You'll have to replace all 4 transistors to bring that amp. up to it's former factory output abilities. You'll require a matched Quad set of SD1446's. Don't just replace the two transistors alone, without changing the other two as well, or the amp may work for a short amount of time then blow the outputs. You require a matched set, commonly called a matched quad set. It's best you let a qualified service man do the job of restoring that amp for you, if you are not a lic. radio technician. Those pills are expensive to replace, so it's worth the extra money to have it done right, by someone who knows what they are doing.
Good luck.

    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
