I have a Cobra 2000 GTL I just finished recapping all electrolytics on the main board. Now from what I have heard and read is that the tantalums should be changed out also before failure. My question is has anyone swapped out all the 12 tantalums for electrolytics in the Cobra 2000 before?
I have a in good condition dx 302. When I got it the audio was terrible sounding. I did some of the audio mod that I found online. I put in a better speaker and raised the value on 4 electrolytic caps. My question is that at LOC C367 there is a 1uf mylar cap there and they say to replace it with...
I have a 1986 model year Cobra 2000. Final quit working. Just replaced the C1969 final with a used one that I had and works good. My question, I want to adjust the bias. My 2000 service manual mentions a TP3. There is a CRD on the pcb there and a hole but no post for a TP3. This is for the...
Cobra 2000 C1969 quit working on me tonight. It's bad. I have read that the NTE236 is a direct replacement for the C1969. Is it exactly the same wattage output? What a your opinions on this. Need to order the final soon. Thanks for any info.
Just realized I might be using the wrong schematic/board layout I found on CB Tricks. My Pace 1000M only has 2 transformers on the right while the pcb layout is showing 3 of them. Also tank coils are not in the correct orientation. Anyone know were to find the correct schematic/pcb layout for my...
I have a really clean Pace Sidetalk 1000m I hate to throw this radio out in the trash or use it for parts if it's a simple fix the issue with the radio is it does not fully power up. There is no light on AM USB or LSB lamps also the channel selector lamp and meter light are not working. The RX...
This 101B almost got tossed out in the trash last week. My friend called and asked me if I wanted it. His father recently passed. Don't know much about it. I have a lot of CB radio experience. Going to clean this thing up and fire it up soon.
I have a 2007 model 29 LTD Chrome that's in great shape, but it will not transmit. I have checked the driver and final and a few of the 2SC945 transistors and all have tested good. Also recapped almost all the electrolytics. The PA and talkback have audio so I don't think the audio IC is at...
I have a few TOKO RCL coils I need to test. Really just need to test the coils for a open/closed coil. If it's good or not. I saw on ebay that here are a couple of different low priced LCR meters that can test inductance. Anyone ever used one of these to test these toko coils? Thanks for any input.
Anyone know the function of R129 in a Cobra 148? The 148 I have is in good shape but it looks like someone cut R129. 22K resistor 1/8 watt. Just curious if it needs to be left alone cut, or replace it with a new one. thanks.
Hello. I'm in need of a new variable coil for a Cobra 2000 GTL. L38 that is in my radio, has been melted by a soldering iron, slug is stuck and cracked. I tried to look online to purchase a new one and I had no luck locating one. Does anyone know if this coil is available somewhere? See...
Hello, I have a fairly in good shape Cobra 2000. The radio has been tinkered with many years ago. I'm trying to put it back to stock and have already replaced a lot of components. The L38 coil near the rear of the radio is melted by a iron and is also stuck and starting to crack. I'd like to...
