When you thank me - you really should thank the Forum for letting be be here in the first place - they have to put up with me - even on slow news days. Now, you'll see a lot of other people on this site also put their 2ยข (cents) in a LOT of effort to help us solve problems with radios - so I CANNOT take ANY credit for others whom are willing to share their knowledge with others that use this forum. I've helped others doing this so you may need to read a thread about Cobra 29 elsewhere I've worked with.It has hints to helps us in this post. If it changes your reading then relax, it's the MOD pot placing a load across the line - it's a sense adjustment to adjust MODULATION levels. It may be VR4's(or VR5 per version) influence - so adjust that pot that is circled in the pic below, that has a lead soldered to the line that goes to the LEFT in the photo, this line is from the Mod Transformer on the right side PAST D8. Ok, to help - disconnecting the Final - leaves the Driver still in place, and you're now reading 0.833 in the 2K (or 1K) setting - which means you have an 800 ohm load across the lime somewhere. Ok, D8 to the Driver and Final - two parts share the same line - now it looks like the Driver may be damaged too. How old is that radio? Any history behind it can help us in knowing what you're dealing with. Ok, that's better, now lets' look into why.
