Where are you located?
 
poinciana fl which is part of kissimmee fl 34758
Unfortunately, I'm on the other side of the state and way south of you (Lehigh Acres).
Since you're nearer to the Kissimmee/Daytona area, try calling 805-680-9808. I don't know this person, but do know he buys/sells tubes, tube checkers, tube amps -- Anything tube-related. I'm guessing he can test them for you either free, or fairly cheap. Also, these folks in Orlando;

I bought some 5751s and some EL 84s from Jim Cross many years ago. A buddy of mine and I went over to his operation and he gave us the tour. He definitely had the equipment.

    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:
    Okay, sorry, will put in a forum
