Howdy folks. Again, please check the pics carefully.... never know what you may be getting!
Now, in NO way is this to bash the seller and/or eBay. I am NOT affiliated with the seller at all. This is just to remind people to keep them eyes peeled...
For me, a pristine Cobra 32XLR... unhacked for $40 back in 1990. Ran on a bought new Archer Crossbow base antenna, (from Radio Shack), on tripod about 15 ft on the roof of the apartment my mother and I lived in. We were in the lower unit which ticked off the upper tenants when I would talk on...
I have 3 of these. Other than tips, none have let me down.

Thank you sunbulls. May try this route if I strike out on a pull from an 18 Ultra. I am willing to sacrifice 20 bucks or hopefully less for a used IC just for ease of installation. My 25 had a bad 1000uF cap in the audio chain. Now she has all new Nichicon 35V upgrades. Stay tuned!
Thanks for looking TheRP. Crap deal for sure. I have like 6 NOS 7222 Toshiba's sitting here... and even a few used. May try an ebay 18 Ultra WX ST for my first course of action if nobody has any other leads..... poop!
Looks like if I can find a cheap parts radio like the Cobra 18 WX ST or variant may have the YD. BUT... it also looks like they came with 2 flavors of audio IC also... I see a few on the bay but no internal pics and pricing looks to be $20 plus for just a used IC and then a dead radio laying...
Thanks guys. She has been on the back burner for a while now... I did find an IC and parts crossover using the 7222 but not sure if I trust it....
