It was once a popular receiver for the CW novice ham in the 60's. It shouldn’t be too difficult to restore if needed. I would still bring it up slowly on a variac and replace all the electrolytic caps for good measure, .

    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:
