Welding with a CB linear

It's supposed to look that way? I thought someone had poured tar into the amp and then set it on fire.
 
this looks like one he did and it was kicked back to him after it had an opps...
only way i can think he had his hands in it after it when bang..
1. the 24 caps
2. the BBI label in the PCB
3. 5 wall balance resistors

The cap across that output transformer should have never gotten hot enough to melt the solder if all the fans stopped. No one can say it was his fault or the result of operator abuse but there was more going on than a fan not cooling a metal clad capacitor .

    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
