Just picked up a Cobra 29 LTD WX classic radio. I really dont find much

Over the years I have had several Cobra CBs. I swear everyone of them
has at least one bad digit on their LED readout. This one does also.
Cobra made darn good radios, but did they use bad readout boards or
what?

I have one may have been replaced, bright blue, really bright on high.

Looking on youtube, it seems this is a very common problem with these
radios. Cobra made great cb radios, but must have used crappy readout
chips.I only have one digit out so im just gonna leave it. Its the low
vertical segment on the number 2.
