I realize I've been quieter as of late. Work life/business life has been extremely busy, but I am still acquiring CB gear.
These two Teaberry Model T 40 channel tube CB's were given to me for free last Thursday night. Both power on, receive, transmit and modulate. There are some issues with the PLL in one of them, but one of my ham buddies who is a proficient technician is going to completely restore one for me, if I allow him to have the other. He plans to restore it and tie in a VFO.
I also purchased an entire radio room full of equipment from an elderly gentleman I met a few weeks ago. I scored:
-Cobra 139 XLR, AM/SSB base station w/digital VFO and mod
-Cobra Dynamike Plus amplified desk mic
-Cyclone 500 base station linear
-New in box Astatic D104 desk mic
-Cobra 29 XLR mobile CB with extras
-Turner Plus II SSB desk microphone
-K40 magnet mount mobile antenna
-2 generic magnet mount mobile antennas
-5 RG8 patch cables
-New in box SWR/watt meter
-Random working hand mics
I will be picking all these items up this week.
On another occasion, I scored a Galaxy 300 linear amplifier (tube) and a D&A Raider tube amp. And along with the free Teaberry Model T, I was given a free Cobra 25 LTD NW that works fine.
I'm still the CB whisperer, apparently. LOL
