Got a Washington with low but readable audio on internal & external speaker. But loud and proud on PA. All I can think is either phone jack or EXT SP jack is shorting out. But a can't find it. Any ideas?

Other than that, she's a good radio.

found the problem

This is embarrassing but I will post it. A few weeks ago when I put this radio to bed after I tuned her up, I had ordered a mic (5-pin). The mic never came, got an external speaker by mistake and they haven't answered my emails to correct the order. Anyway, I converted a 4 pin mic to a 5. I used that mic to recheck the Washington before I put her on ebay. The mic was the problem. 2 pins were shorting together in the plug.
Well, you live, you learn. Right?
Thanks for the help.

    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
