Greetings!
In answer to your questions, yes. But wait a moment - we have to make sure the supports, the components in the circuit that make the transistor operate, have to be verified they're ok.
This can get tricky, but if you have probe tips that are sharp point style and pay attention - you should have no problems.

Gotta' strong light or flashlight?
Because you'll need to "shine" the traces to find your places to check.

It's basically a process of shining your flashlight under the section of the board that contains the parts you want to check - most of the time on the Cobra 29's (thankfully) they are single clad - (1 copper layer) boards that let some light thru.
Like this, and then just use your finger to find the traces you want to locate by looking at the section and finger on foil side casts shadow on it...

Then while keeping your finger on the W37 location - flip over the board...

Then you can review your schematic and work - remember polarity because the Limiter uses energy, or power, that can swing potentials BELOW FOIL BOARD GROUND - like negative-going AC or Audio. So when you install parts here, keep their polarity...
Hope these hints help!
