So I picked up a CB with some issues.

There is the transformer, and nothing else for power. There are black/red connectors that are part of the harness, all for power of course.

I've seen Congos that require the power pcb, and some, also Zaxxons, that use switching p/s?

I attached pics.



Where does that plug go??



No wires for the fan in back, I think this is it.



These are the black/red wires I speak of. Ground, 5 and 12 volts I suppose?



And finally the transformer..

Any help would be great!

none of your pics are showing up. Might want to find somewhere else to host them and repost.
 
The combo of the crimped terminals and holes on the inside of the cab appear a switching PS was removed.
 
I've figured out most of it, P25 is still a mystery.
Here's a few pics of my cab. Maybe they will help. On my cab, I don't use P25. But my harness has been hacked up.

Looking at my last pic. If this is your p25 it comes off the transformer. I would say its for the linear power supply.
 
Cool, great pics. Where is the switching P/S getting its juice from?
Look at pic 3. The two green wires are the 110v. They are on the left side
It looks like someone spliced in the 110v before it goes to the transformer

if you are going to install a switcher you dont need to worry about P25. Thats the AC input for the linear supply.
 
Whoa that was one huge image!

And good to know about p25. Guess I gotta order a switcher.

Any idea what the plexi on the bezel size is? Mine has none and I need to get a replacement.
