Hmmm.. I have one like this, been a little over a year since I looked in it, so I don't remember details of troubleshooting it. Mine is a newer one, with the "Cobra" I think it says on it PLL chip. The PLL chip is dead. Rest of the radio is great condition. I just kept it around for parts or when I get an ugly radio in with a good PLL chip for it...I tried swapping in an older non "Cobra" PLL chip, no workie. If I remember right it was kind of common to see dead PLL's with the "Cobra" stamped on them (all newer radios, not the old shool real Cobra 25 Classics).
