I can remember back in the day when those JC Penny radios were sought after by many cbers. I don't know who built them but they were well made.

Quote "Hi Alain,
They had a couple different Mfg’s that made equipment for them, one of them being Cybernet. They made similar transceivers for Sears and Radio Shack to name a few. All three of them have similar 23 channel mobiles with a built-in power supply as well........ end of quote "

I have had one or two of those cb back in the 70"s,another good one was the sears roadtalker that was around about the same time

 

[Big_Ears]

Many of the JC Penny CB radios had the infamous PLL02A or the SM5104 PLL.

Seems like every department store chain sold CBs...would be funny to see one from Macy's.

 

[icom1020]

Remember when Gary Burghoff from MASH advertised Kraco radios on tv?

 

[avtarsingh]
