Sears Roadtalker 40 SSB Old School

[GetNOld]

Hello all, Getting back to CB radios in my 70`s, Just bought Hardly used 1979ish Sears Roadtalker 40 SSB. I Had back in the day. I have seen some manuals going for sale on internet ect, Model #`s i see are mostly Model # 934.38270700. And ones on Ebay with same Model/chassis # But, the one that I am buying is Model # 934.38270701. Anyone know why last digit is off by 1. Thanks!

Nice radio! If my memory serves me right, i think the only difference was the color of the meter. Most common was silver, but some had black like the image below.

Thank you, The one I bought also has a black Face, Found this on AI> The Sears Roadtalker 40, a vintage CB radio from the late 1970s and early 1980s, is highly regarded by enthusiasts for its solid build and strong performance. The model with the "black meter face" typically refers to the deluxe slant-face version that was manufactured by Hitachi.

Thank you, The one I bought also has a black Face,

Great radio! Have fun with it. I remember one of the regulars on our local channel always singing the praises of the Roadtalker.

Nice radio, wish I could help you. Good that you got the 40 channel version. The CB band has been open lately and the FCC eliminated the 150 mile limit.

I was a CB'er in the '70's too. Now I pretty much listen. Have a good time with your RoadTalker.
