I am not in any particular hurry; I can wait a couple weeks for your publication.
Actually, I do have a pile of various disabled radios and also several working radios as well; I frequent classic car and truck swap meets and often will buy a whole big box that says "C.B.Stuff" for maybe five or ten dollars and there will be all sorts of goodies inside.
I have accumulated several Cobra 19 in various versions and all of them work.
The curious fact that I have learned is that the the two old 23-channel Midland CBs I have seem to be pretty much bullet-proof and will out-distance and outperform any of my Cobras; then, I am not knowledgeable enough to tell, but these two radios came in the same box lot and may have had every upgrade possible done to them.
My main three trucks have custom designed CB openings in the overhead console that were purpose built to fit a Cobra 29; which is my main reason for sticking with them.
In a pinch, I will zip-tie one of the other radios in there and use it until I can come up with another working Cobra 29.
I have one of the old Midland 23-channel radios equipped with a cigar-lighter cord and a magnet-mount antenna and I often use it in trucks I may have reason to drive that do not have a working radio; it works so well that I am tempted to mount it in my truck as my main radio.
One would think that, with all this pile of CB stuff, that I would know how to fix them; but, I am a complete novice and appreciate any and all help and advice I can get.
Thanks.
