Absolutely brilliant work on the Lincoln I have a hygain 5 8795 model would love to get that serviced and maybe some up grades to bring her in to the modern world
Nice job on that encoder fault .Changing the capacitors is definitely recommended. You get a lot of noise generated within that PLL board which affects the receiver. It's just a pain to do as for some strange reason UNIDEN didn't print the capacitor locations on the PCB. But it's well worth doing.
I love the Lincoln radio's. I am on my third one!!. Another problem i found with the rotary channel change is that there are 2 low value electrolytic capacitors on the up/down voltage lines going from the channel switch to the cpu. They are either side of the channel change socket on the cpu board, i have found they can go leaky and cause the "skippy" channel change. Hope this information is useful.
Where did you purchase the green cap for the incandescent bulb, not a fan of the orange display. The ones i've found state they're for LED bulbs, not incandescent.
i have one of hose rigs graham it has something init called chipswitch ! can you enlighten me what this is ? another radio saved graham great video mate .
Chipswitch is a custom programmed processor on the pll board , and gives more functionality , freqs , even 10m repeater offsets "i think". Its is quite sought after.
It was an option to make the radio go from 24 to 30 mhz, i think it also had repeater shift for the repeaters on the 29mhz ham band. Rare as a honest politician.
Brilliant loved the fix for the voltage regulators👍

Great job mate, got to love them Lincoln's

Excellent work..
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job. 👍
Thanks 👍
A simple (to you) repair that really brings the radio back to how it should be.

Somebody’s been watching @EEVblog with phrases like “Bit how ya doin’ and “flapping around in the breeze” 😉
Yeh, his catch phrases are a bit addictive .
Gluing a regulator ! With were they thinking 😂
had one of those, but it was a uniden unlocked to go 26-28mhz technically best rig i ever had but still prefer pb010 cobra 148gtl dx/ ss360

I got them in a job lot of parts , have a look on AliExpress for colour bulb caps .
