Thank you. If anyone has a complete (bom)or parts list that would be extremely helpful. I bought this base off eBay and want to restore. It has 2 burnt resistors near the final section that I can no longer read the color bands on them.
I know it’s aggravating, but Sam’s (except for some of the early radios) negated to list the resistors in their parts pages. It has become a two step process. Download the CB-243 Cobra 87gtl pdf file that Shummy posted. The resistors in question will be either on page 14 or 15. Study the schematic in that same pdf file. It will give you the values related to all those R numbers. Good hunting.....
 
I have almost a complete set of Sams PhotoFacts for CB. If anyone needs info on a specific cb radio just like me know and I will see if I have that Volume. KEEP CB ALIVE!
Help I need them all the time. I am buried in repairs atm. I need cb 113 and cb 137. I am hoping I can find the alignment for the shakespeare gbs 5000 by looking at a similar model or to see how close I can get an idea and get it back home soon. Thanks. J shop down under
