Can't seem to find one on the net. Seems the only one that I've seen on the net is illegible. So, I thought I'd ask and see if there is one out there that can be downloaded here?

I looked around and all the old sites that use to have it are gone. Defpom has one but it is hard to read also. I will check my old DVD disk to see if by chance I have it saved some where.

Thanks guys!

That worked out. Someone gave me a Uniden President Grant w/o any covers on the radio, so I have to find a stock set of covers somewhere too. Fortunately, they are much like the side mic 148, since this is also a 5 pin side mic radio as well and hopefully will be easy to locate.

But I have to unbugger the radio from channel mods and hacked front switches - first. The clarifier mod done to it still needs to be reworked as well.

Robb, I found a seller on eBay offering aftermarket lids that'll fit the radio, but they are chrome type, not black. I found that the chrome plating can get marred from oils (on the hands) after handling.

Yeah, and while they look sharp, they are easily subject to rusting. Seen it a few times. Naw, just looking for some cheapo black covers in OK shape. Radio is coming along OK so far.

I think the covers are like the ones on a president Jackson. if so the regular radio covers will not fit. I had to contact about every radio shop in the Oklahoma city area to find a set of covers for my Jackson. the screw holes and the front of the covers are different.
good luck on finding the covers.

Sure hope that isn't the case - pardon the pun.
This is a regular President Grant - CB only - not an export version.

I had a PC-409 on the bench some time last year and I don't remember for sure, but I believe they are just like the 148 GTL lids.

Edit: I didn't have my Grant XL then, and don't remember if I attempted to put Galaxy DX lids on it, so they could be very well be different, thanks Sonoma.

Does anyone have a parts list for the PC-409? I could build a capacitor kit for it.
Klondike Mike, I could probably look over the schematic and attempt to build one from that.

Sorry I didn't record the cap list when I re-did that radio, as I probably stated I would.
My memory is terrible, and sometimes I lose motivation.
It took me a little while to re-cap as I didn't buy a kit for the 148, I just pieced everything together, one-by-one from various sources, and failed to document the total BOM. :(

if it has the 3 or 4 buttons on the front with a face like a Jackson may have the odd covers on it.do you have a radio there with the dx covers on it you could try. this way you will know for sure.

Now that you mention it.. the PC409 Grant radio I worked on had the buttons up front!
Whoops! I hope they aren't really odd lids.
 
Robb, the radio you have does it have a single or duel finals and does it have channels? they made so many different versions its hard to find the one you have with the PC409 board in it. I know they had one from President and one from Uniden with the grant name on them.
