Re: Cobra 148 GTL DX - Serial Numbers
Mine is the same inside as this - The serial number has gone from the back of mine but the MB8719 is marked 8011 so does that mean week 11 of 1980? The PCB is labled pc879aaBlack Spirit wrote:This is a Superstar 360 MK1 i got to do from a member here, When i opened it i had never seen one that uses these type of inductors before and i have had 100's of MK1's through my hands over the years.
Radio is mint inside and totally standard.

If you've got one to add then put up as many details as you can and it'll get updated at some point. Clint is a busy man at the moment so it may take a little while.

Re: Cobra 148 GTL DX - Serial Numbers
I've just been looking at serial numbers of Uniden stuff, and it looks like the second digit is the country of manufacture. This isn't just for PB010, but for any radio.
x3 = Taiwan
x5 = Phillipines
x7 = Hong Kong
I think PRC may use x3 too, but I need to look into that.
Any comments?
*edit* I think the first digit of the serial number may be the last digit of the year of manufacture.
03 = Taiwan 1980
13 = Taiwan 1981
83 = Taiwan 1988 (Uniden 2830)
Here's the latest serial number list

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

Clint, it's a Nikon Coolpix 12 megapixels, my son and daughter bought it me for Christmas a couple of years ago.
The photo was taken after I'd cleaned the radio, it was in a filthy condition when I got it and so was the one I repaired for him, I've never seen radios in such a dirty condition on the INSIDE.
