Looking for a good condition working non hacked up 2950 first generation. Doesn't have to be NOS but nothing drug behind a truck either. Preferably no opened clarifier or echo board.
Thanks 73

If I recall they were about 2 bills which is pretty good.
Not too bad. I think the older ones are quieter than the DX and above models. I just pulled mine out and the receive was sketchy, so I did a re-cap and found 4 totally bad caps, a few way under value, and a few way above value. Haven't done an alignment yet, but the recap cured the problems. I did change out the display orange bulbs for green LED's and also the keypad.
I believe it's a 2nd or 3rd generation as it has no battery for backup.

I recently Sold TWO of these to a close friend for just $75 since they were given to me by a SK's wife & I would never have used them.

    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
