I really loved this radio, it had swing kit, echo board, and modulation way over 100% BIG BAD SUPER AUDIO, Mod limiter Out! Set mike gain to perfect and used a secret Mic! This radio was KING! Too bad its dead now...




I would really love to get it running again I'd hate to strip it for parts any help appreciated... I went and bought a brand new stock Uniden PC78XL want to see what these are like. Heard its the same exact board layout, pretty much the same radio with a few more features...
Original Radio Make and Model: Cobra 29LTD Classic
Manufactured Date: Feb 08
What is working: Nothing Applied power, seems dead.
What has been tried: Tested with multimeter, Seems to be a short on postive to negative leads, instantly blows fuse.
Did it suddenly happen ?: Sure soon as hooked the polarity in reverse before i marked it! Lesson Learned...
Anything else that may be of help?: I feel like an idiot. I read somewhere else that somone said it is fixable if you replace a certain diode, but which one.
Than he said it will only work if the fuse used was under 5amp fuse. Guess what lucky me. I used a 6amp fuse, since I didn't have another 3 amp, and just wanted to get on the Air. Another Lesson Learned BIG MISTAKE...
Hopefully this helps other people out reading this so they don't make my mistakes... lol Though i'm sure they won't go looking for help untill its too late lol!
SCI-FI! on this end, got the biggest baddest station in the Nation! Keep'in them Mud Ducks Back Quite, Were Back Out.
