What is the board layout based on? Something like a cobra 2000 or a Galaxy 2517 maybe. Kinda looks like a Galaxy layout to me as far as adjustment locations go.

Colt Excalibur SSB base.

Correct, and If I remember right it was very similar to the Palomar SSB500, as well as a few other Cybernet 02A based board SSB radios.
The exports in Europe did too,they were known as Ham Internaional Jumbo's here,with the first 2 versions being 120 ch and the third being 200ch,they used slightly different cybernet boards which were the same as the ones found in the mobile cybernet ssb radios of the time,Ham int concorde/hygain 5/cobra 150gtl etc.
Not known for being quality and always less preferred than uniden ssb boarded radios although there was a few people liked them,god knows why.A few colt excalibers made it here too back in the 80's but as ham international was based in belgium it was mostly their derivatives that came to the UK.
If you like the look of them the galaxy 2517 etc has the same look but with a far superior circuit board and would be a far better choice.
And do not forget the Cobra 148 GTL DX.
What I liked about those was the ability to re-build the VCO.

That would be a Fake 148, or a copy based on the O2A, real 148 is an 8719 based Uniden board...
Hintz the tag DX at the the end of Cobra 148.
It is an old export. Has a wedge shape front end.
When it worked it was a good rig. Now it is just a collection to rest of my junk.
DX tag was on both the real 148 GTLDX, and the Copy Cybernet made which was an attempt to cash in on the Popularity and scarcity of the Uniden based board. Never forget my first Fake which LES played stupid on, lol...
Manual
I need a manual for a Colt Excalibur SSB radio. I googled but nothing found. Does anyone have or know where I can get one?
