Should I restore and make it pretty, back to original Cobra state or go further?
Well, I've got the DDS boards, I think a little fun should be had.
I'll run through the radio properly, I'm going to replace all those horrible electrolytics, they were never particularly good quality from the factory and after 30+ years, they'll be way past best.
A full alignment from front to back and back to front first, make sure there are no nasties lurking, a few good squirts of switch cleaner and then the DDS boards. Not possible to FM a DDS chip without some serious coding and a good fast microcontroller so I'm planning on using one as an offset crystal replacement, I'll work out the practicalities of it and post my thoughts later.
