I just purchased on Goodwill auctions a Sears Road Talker 40 SSB. I've been looking for one for awhile for a reasonable price. I paid $9.99 for the radio and shipping was around $16.00. I stumbled upon it as I was looking through the site. It was listed as "Vintage Deluxe Car Console and Road Talker 40". Pretty funny as the radio is still attached to the plastic console molded to fit the transmission hump in an old car. The console looks like something you would have bought from Kmart in the early 1970's. Looks to be in good shape from the pictures with the orginal Sears microphone. From the photos it looks like it's missing the radio channel selector knob, but I have a knob I think will fit. From what I have read, it is the same radio as the Cobra 146 GTL. It will go well with my collection of vintage JCPenney CB's. I can't find which SAM Photfact manual goes with this particular radio. There is no listing for a Road Talker 663.38100050 or Cobra 146 GTL. I'll have to research a little deeper. I'd like to recap it once I recieve it and see that it works.
