Post #49 is pics of original board. In my second pic their are 3 chips to the right of the board sticking up. On the newer one it looks like one of the chips have been replaced with a bunch of wires. Maybe for the sixth band of channels. I can take more pics if anyone wants them. I need to get...
That board is identical to the original 5 band silver face I have. The only things I noticed different are the wire connectors on the board. Is this the new one that was just released or an older/different model.
Here is a pic of the 2 large caps. Before replaced all I got was loud pops when I turned it on. After the change I got receive and modulation but no power. A cb tech online recommended I check the cap near the final. I checked it, it was bad, I replaced it and I'm on the air. How did I waste my...
I just fixed a President Jackson by replacing 2 large caps that were leaking and one .22uf in the final circuit. I have another radio with the same issues the jackson had and will check out it's caps at the final.
I use the ratshack 5.5 on my saturn and it works great. I have run a 102" for a couple weeks and didn't notice much difference. I run barefoot, no power adders.
My Jackson had a burnt ant wire and the narrow part of the trace is exposed from getting too hot. Not sure what final it has but it has variable power added.
I'm repairing a Jackson that was a throw in when I bought a Cobra 2000. One issue is the wire from the board to antenna is fried and I don't know what wire would be best to use.
Thanks

I just bought a Cobra 2000 with a silver eagle and it has an external wire from the mic base to the jack at the radio. Guy said it had a squeal and that helped. I'm gonna get a 6 wire next time I get to a cb shop.
I just bought a midland 13-895(Cobra 139) and have the same problem. Some modulation but no power. I'm hoping this thread will help me also. I have no bench equipment so I can't help.
