    Sorry to bother again! By chance would you or anyone in this thread have the original Cobra 29 service manual? I'm looking for the 23 channel one, not the newer 40 channel units. I think it's in Sams CB-56.

    I looked back through the posts and couldn't find it but would you have the Sams for the 23 channel Cobra 29? I think it's the CB 56 edition. Thank you!!!

    Cobra 19XS Faceplate Removal

    Got it, the rig's from 1985 so I wasn't sure if it was due or not. I'll look into realignment, I found the service manual online. I may come back and post some pics of the board when I get home this evening.

    Cobra 19XS Faceplate Removal

    So another question... Receive seems kinda weak on this rig. Transmit is just fine. I can only pick up anyone local and the S meter only works when a signal is local. Background noise isn't making it budge. Not even Channel 6 comes booming in. Anyone know if and when a recap might be needed...

    Cobra 19XS Faceplate Removal

    Not the worst thing I could hear but...close :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I did get to looking this afternoon on the web and it seemed to confirm that Cobra did this to many of their radios - in fact many CB manufacturers did. One way that removal COULD be attempted would be with a heat gun, a...

    Cobra 19XS Faceplate Removal

    Hi all, I just picked up a Cobra 19XS from eBay and wanted to change the dead S meter bulb. Any ideas of how to get the front faceplate off? I've removed the 4 screws in the sides holding it on but it's not budging. Any ideas? Thanks!

    What connector/connection is this?

    Oh...that might be a problem. Would that mean that it takes an SO239 base?

    What connector/connection is this?

    Hi all, I found a bunch of these at a yard sale for like a buck or two and picked them up. Any idea what base these went to? All I know is that it's made by Antenna Specialists

    Midland 13-857 Talkback Mod?

    I'm back... Well, it actually works! I have to put the radio in Ext. CB mode but it works great!

    Midland 13-857 Talkback Mod?

    That makes so much sense! In the circuit though C98 is connected to 13.94V when the radio is in PA mode. So technically the ext. CB/PA shield isn't grounded? I feel like I'm not looking at this right :LOL:

    Midland 13-857 Talkback Mod?

    And that's where I'd bridge the resistor as well, is between the two ground pins?
