Uniden Grant XL - repair help

I have been given a Grant XL and the thing is dead right now.

I hooked it up and it was blowing fuses (I did not hook it up backwards). I also did not put in a killer fuse.

I opened it up an noticed that D55 was already cut and never replaced. So I am going to assume that the person that had it before me hooked it up backwards with the diode already cut.

Anyone have any ideas where to look next?

I can tell you that I do not have short in the CB untill I turn it on. I checked the resistance on the power port in the back (one lead on + and one on -) and I only get a dead short when I switch it on.

OR does anyone have an idea where I can get a readable diagram for it? I looked online but they are so low quality.

Thanks for any help in advance!!!

    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
