Old CB's

[jcrmadden]

An elderly lady bestowed a box of her late husband's radio gear on me...

You dusty old coots recognize any of these?

Fieldmaster Micro Mini-40

Teaberry "T" command

Regency CR-142

President Zachary T.

Pictures to follow eventually

The Teaberry if I remember correctly is a tube radio and is identical to a Robyn. Zachary T is as sold as part of the original President lineup, which is not to be confused with the current President radios which are not the same company. The original President, Robyn, Cobra, Galaxy, Superstar, and a few others I have forgotten, were all made by Uniden

I made an impulse buy on an estate radio a widow had sold to a shop I frequent. Owner was able to find a needed crystal on his bench and gave it an alignment. Never used much and fully-functional.

Beat Frequency Oscillator on-board.
The past has surprises.

Gonna need an ASTATIC D104 someday.
A lot of details pertain (research).

The Zachary is basically an AM only version of the Washington.

Pretty much the contemporary COBRA 29-XLR as shown. The era when that radio gained its long-lasting reputation. (Made in Japan at that point).

The T-Command was my very first base station. I am lucky to own one in mint condition to this day.

I have one of these that I scored for $5. The power supply in it is shot, but it will run fine on a DC power supply.

It is so nostalgic to see that D104

I'm a Johnson fan myself , does anyone have one of these stashed away ? It's a Messenger 223 with a very uncommon cover

 

[spongella]

That was very nice of her to do that. As a CB'er from the 1970's I remember Robyns and Teaberrys being two of many manufacturers back then. CB sets were 23 channel models until I think around '76 when 40 channels became the norm. My first 40 channel CB back then was a Midland AM/SSB mobile that cost $300. Now you can get an AM/SSB for almost half the price.
Tnx forall the great follow-up photos.

B.S.

The old tube type Robyn's (T-123B and the yellow T-240D had a Panasonic chassis , like the Teaberry Model T and Gemtronics 5000.

 

[MissouriRebel]

Speaking of Robyn's, here is what I suspect is Robyn's first foray into SSB , the SS-747 , 23 channel AM/SSB solid state , dual meters , 2 position clarifier

 

[MissouriRebel]

Those were the golden years for sure. Midland , Johnson, , Cobra , Tram , Lafayette were pretty much household names . I'll take a tube type cb anytime . Or a Midland 13-895 base/mobile with SSB .

 

[spongella]

Handic was another somewhat obscure CB manufacturer from the 70's. I remember some models were orange and possibly from Scandinavia? Too many cobwebs in my old brain hihi.

 

[nokones]

Many decades old and probably a lot older than most people on this forum have been alive, and still new and never used. Tandy Radio Corporation Radio Shack TRC-24A 23 Channel CB Radio.

I never had any use for the Zachary T , it didn't have SSB . I always had good luck with the Cobra 139XLR , which I prefer over the 2000 GTL . My next base will be one of these
