I have raised another Cobra 148 GTL from the dead, but I am now having a alignment problem. The radio has no clarifier mods that I can see and all wires appear to be in the right places. L23, L59 and L22 do not have enough adjustment and the cores are bottomed out.

AM, L23 is supposed to be 34.7650 MHz and I can only get 34.7612 MHz

USB is supposed to be 34.7665 MHz and I can only get 34.7614 MHz.

LSB is supposed to be 34.7635 MHz and I can only get 34.7610 MHz.

I have not checked many parts yet and not sure if it may be a common part doing this. R146 tested good.
I do not think that L24, 25, and L26 could have all went bad at once but that is the next place I am going to check. Does anyone have any ideas of what to look for on this kind of problem?
