I had that problem once with a Cobra 29 and a broken display. I sprayed CRC contact cleaned in on the channel changer knob and got my display back again. Can't guaranty anything but it might be worth a shot. The display was still working the last I tried it but it has been a while because it was a AM only radio. And I might have got the cleaner on more than the channel changer knob.
are the segments dead? did you put too many volts?
It might be the selector is dirty. take the knob off and put the shaft in your cordless drill chuck and go slow but let it go awhile then back the other way and see if it wakes up.
dont floor it

That CB is a $20 CB wen working correctly. Worth nothing in present condition.
Like they say Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes Hobbyist are a crazy bunch. LOL And I should know when I look on the shelves of my radio room.
I have the Workman parts here. Or, I'll get you a Kingbright sub part number when I get to my bench. I am working on other projects this week. You can get the Kingbright from any parts house.
That is one that Uniden built for Rat Shack, it's a Uniden 122xl on the inside. Current trending price on E-Bay from completed listings is 80-299 dollars. Most are selling for 100-150.
It was a good laugh this morning that the radio is worth $20.
I would be glad to pay $20 for one. I kept all of my TRC-465 radios. The Uniden 122 is the same but for some reason that one on AM does much better vs the other 4 TRC-465 radios I have.
465 is a good radio.
same for the 453.
my buddy had a 453 he got new for Christmas one year around 88-89

Does that display mount flush against the pcb or does it stand off a little ways? If it's flush, I probably have a new pull from a galaxy that you can have.
Schemo for a PC122XL Uniden says it's a "UR202AD".
No idea what substitute number will cross-reference to it.
Now and again a ballast resistor will fail and the segment that it feeds goes dark. When multiple segments are dark, I suspect the LED display.

@ Geoexplorer69:Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
