I found this on Facebook Marketplace about a week ago and had been pondering whether or not I wanted to get it. After a little few messages back and forth with the owner I decided to go get it yesterday. The directions to the house included, “There’s a bus in the driveway. Just go around the bus and pull up to the house” lol. And sure enough, when I got there, the bus was smack in the middle of the driveway, and looks like it had been there for awhile. Definitely long enough for the branches to grow across the driveway and make my antenna hit as I proceeded slowly up the drive lol.
Anyways, about the CB. The small metal plate on the base says it’s a Model No 6211/Catalog No 981-6331. 23 channels with the dial knob. All 5 knobs and the 2 switches seem to function physically. The needle on the meter sways back and forth if I rock the CB. It’s definitely getting a brand new power cord and I’ll need a mic. My Grandsons and I opened it up, and there isn’t anything obviously wrong inside just from looking around. The boys thought it was really cool because they’ve never seen one opened up before. I’ve looked at a couple of sites but haven’t been able to find any schematics for it yet. Do any of you happen to have any or know of a place that does? Also, I’d love to see any old JCP ads or catalog pics of this radio. The ads I’ve seen of their other CB models all included rather homely looking microphones lol. I suspect it spent its life riding around in that bus. Unfortunately, the people I bought it from weren’t very talkative. Channel 9 is in red, but channels 10-15 are in green. What’s the significance of channels 10-15? And in between channels 22 and 23, there’s a spot that just has a •. What’s the significance of the •? Oh yeah, it cost me a grand total of $20 to bring this gem home, just for reference.
