Had a couple of these back in the day and wouldn't mind reliving my wasted youth LOL.
Let me know what you have with condition, operation and pics.
Cheers
 

Cabover I did see that one thanks.
I remember mine having the orange display like the button back lights.
I will look for a more original one.
Thanks for the info though
Cheers Renegade 525
 
The RCI 2900, also sold as the Galaxy Uranus.
I have not seen a 2900 for 20 years or more, they did not make many of them, and they were a real bitch to work on.
At the end Ranger started replacing them with the 2950 when it came out.
Very rare radio.
Good luck in your search.

I have a rvi 2900, but the orange backlight has went out. 6 pin has been changed over to a 4 pin, and a varible wattage knob has been installed in the back of the radio. I got about $150 in it

    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
