Hi everyone,
Over the past few weeks, I've located three CB radios at a couple different estate sales which I've picked up for cheap. Trying to get my CB game going.
Of the three CBs, I picked up a very interesting setup for only $8. It's a Cobra 29XLR mounted to a Kricket Kamel external speaker. The radio itself also has an antenna mount (I assume it's magnetic) on top of it that will not budge. I'm trying to figure out how to get the thing off.
Additionally, the radio is held to the mounting bracket by what look to be screws with key locks on top of them. I have no idea what they are or how they work. Maybe you stick a key in the slots, turn it, and that allows you to finger loosen the screws, or whatever they are.
I've never seen anything like this. Was this commonly available? A custom rig? Does anyone know what key these locks take or how I can remove them?
I'd like to remove the radio from the bracket temporarily and also get the mount on top of it off.
Any help is appreciated!
