CB radios

[ShadowFire]

The person asking about CBs below reminded me of something...

Does anyone remember what the name/brand of those mobile CB radios that that had a telephone-type handset for a mic/speaker????

Want to find a replacement for the one stolen from my collection, but can't remember what they were called...

Thanks for the assist, guys. Now... to actually FIND one is going to be a battle.

Only thing I've been able to find so far is this sleaze-ball selling photocopies of the diagram of it.. for $5 a pop.

YEP! The 130 was the type! My friend and I each had one - we used to jokingly refer to them as "Rampart phones" (If you've ever watched "Emergency", you'll know why).

Lol, even back in 1992, we used to get a lot of strange looks from people over these.

I LOVED that show as a kid.

If anyone wants to make a grab for that radio shack unit, go for it. I'm going to holdout for a 130 (exact model replacement).

BTW, 3 weeks ago I picked up an old 23 channel mobile rig... complete with FCC cb license! Anyone know of a site I could post a scan of it(the license), for history-sake?
