This is another Cobra 2000 I repaired for a friend. He bought this in a deal, and it was cosmetically very clean. This is a 1979 vintage rig, and was among the best available at that time. This rig had lots of problems... the transmitter driver and final were incorrect (and were some of the poor quality Chinese knockoffs in circulation). There were parts missing in the transmitter strip, literally everything in the radio had been turned, the AM power control / modulator was bad, etc.
I installed the correct, original mfg transistors from RF Parts, replugged the board of the missing components, gave it a full alignment, corrected the remote power mod on the rear apron, serviced the noisy pots and switches, and she was good as new.
