Re: Cobra 150-GTL ( cybernet PTBM121D4X )
Actually, this is possibly the most untypical Cobra radio I have ever seen, as the chassis in higher end Cobra radios (like the 148 'skip mentions) were almost invariably of Uniden origin.
Nor does it have the typical look / styling / image of a Cobra radio, they were very fond of narrow, tapered chrome-effect knobs and more heavy 'Chroming' on the bezel surrounding the front panel - if you'd asked us to guess the brand I would have said it was a Colt of some sort, especially from the styling of the knobs.
There were a few exceptions to the Cobra Is Always "Uniden Inside"rule, for example the popular, basic Cobra 19X was based on a common Maxon (Korean made) chassis. This radio is obviously another of those unusual exceptions.
A nice restoration job anyway, well done.
