Cobra 25LTD Classic

C91 as far as I can tell, will have to research it more when I get the radio back. Won't be the first time the board was marked different than the position.
When I recap, I usually follow the orientation of the old cap, I have seen too many incorrect silkscreen polarities. Sometimes I forget the orientation and reference the silk, but always write it down so if something acts wonky, I know which one to flip. Having a before pic is a lifesaver.

I found this Taiwan 25 like the one we're working on here. Kinda fuzzy as not a very good pic, but it seems to show that I have the new one in wrong..but fuzzy pic and fuzzy eye sight.

You're correct, I'm getting sloppy in my old age.

Yeah, hard to see the details, and I wish I had one here to look at, but I'd bet you a dollar it's backwards. I don't see many 25s these days.
