Man I am so jealous.Your enthusiasm is infectious. she cleaned out her old mans radio shack so glad you rescued that equipment. now to get a really cool tube transmitter.
I started out on CB radio when I was 12 (1964) in Hoboken, NJ... I love watching these CB on line review's over the years.. Far Point Far guy is the best.
Good score! One of my friends had that Radio Shack mobile hooked up to a super penetrator base antenna back in the day. A bunch of us would stay up all night on Friday and Saturday nights till all hours of the morning on our parents base stations.
I live in the uk. I still sit on the super bowl chan 6 waiting to hear America in the late summer months when western skip is strongest. Made my first copy to the states in 1979 wheni was 10. Nearly 50 now and still wait for the American voices and the excitement when one comes back with my call sign. 26 TANGO MIKE 64 SOUTH EAST UK.
Well that brings back memories my first cb was a pace 166 am 23 channel and the Home base Turner mic and also the lollipop mic in the back ground all great gear man you have done well 👍😁
My first Car CB was a Pace 144. I used it daily for years until one morning it just started picking up AM broadcast signals and never transmitted again. Loved that radio and hung onto it for years before i let it go.
@Lorne Johnson last night my son brought me an antenna I've yet to determine exactly what it is.I think it's a Shakespeare Big Stick that has been modified.Gonna be fun to figure it out.
Hey Eric yesterday I came accross a Craigslist ad for CB Radios and scanner and a few other odds and ends. I got a Cobra 29, a GE mobile 40 channel, a 40 channel perace-simpson, a 40 channel realistic mobile. 4 scanner 2 crystal 2 programmable. A bunch of microphones and cords a few brackets mic clips etc. Also 2 RadioShack magnet mount antennas still in the package and a couple beat up antennas and parts. Also 2 old FM radio convertors. Everything for $50! Don't know if it's a good deal but the scanners are working so far all I have really checked! Keep those great videos coming my friend. Talk soon
@@FarpointFarms Really! $50? Are they rare or something? I listed the realistic one up on eBay for starting bid at $15 or buy it now for $25 you think I'm to low? The audiovox one is in rougher shape. Talk soon Josh
Big win! That Lafayette looks like it’s a tube type. I like that cobra I’ve never had one of those I had a couple of 2000s I’ve still got one I like them pretty good to. My best score was on a Facebook group for CB radios I guy down towards Winston had posted it on there and his grandfather had passed away and left him a garage full of stuff and he didn’t know what it was And what it was worth. A thousand people were making him ridiculous low offers on Facebook but not one person went to see him and purchase it so after about two weeks I offered to drive down there and check out what he had and I told him to look on eBay to figure out what the stuff was worth Which is usually kind of high. He was actually pricing the stuff at a fraction of what I was telling him it was worth I took 250 bucks with me that’s all I could swing at the time and I had just about all I could haul in a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. I got a cobra 2000 that I have now which looks brand new. I got 2 cobra 148’s a cobra 142 a 4 tube elkin amplifier and 6 tube elkin amplifier. A box with 4 D104 mIcs. I got a 40 channel fs2340 sonar base radio which I’ve never even seen before that works great. And got a sonar amplifier to go with it and he was throwing other stuff in my box as I was walking out the door. I was so excited I had to pull over and hook up one of the 148s in my jeep and was talking on it on the way home. I’ve still got about all of that stuff.
Holy mother of all scores!!! Sounds like a genuine jackpot. You've got to be wiling to make the drive when stuff like this comes along. I got a great pull behind tiller one day because I was the one that hopped in my truck and actually went to get it when everyone else was asking him to hold it. As they say, those that hesitate are lost.
Good reviews! A few years ago I came across a old (like new) Cobra 139 base at a garage sale for $5.00. Surprisingly, no one had been in the radio tweaking it and the only thing wrong with it was a hetrodyne crystal which covers channel 19 of the 4 channels is bad. A lot of times a fella can find some good buys at garage sales and hamfests. I was curious if the old Cubic Corporation Siltronix (1011C and 1011D) rigs were still around. I found quite a few on Ebay for sale and those rigs went for $605.00 in the early 1970s. They came down in price later on for around $300+. Many of the CBers in this area bought the rigs since they had a VFO and had a increased RF output of 40 watts AM, 120 watts SSB. They were illegal for CB but many fellas didn't care and used them anyway. The rigs were suppose to be used on the Amateur radio bands but instead the CBers used them on FreeBand. The FCC gave up on trying to police the mess on the CB band in the 1970s and even up to the current time. The best CBs I have messed with was the Hygain 623 Utopia 23 channel base, International Executive 100D, 50D. The Siltronix rigs were far more superior in selectivity/rejection and sensitivity versus the CB rigs. They were mostly tube and the biggest drawback with the rig was on SSB where the VFO was prone to drifting from heat and temperature changes. I suspect that the box for the Lafayette radio has a bank of crystals in it for extending the channel range for the radio if it was a 23 channel rig?
HELL yeah Erik! Man what a score. Content.... Content as far as the eye can see... Can't wait to see these things in action! Still working on fixing some SWR issues at home and in the mobile. One of these days I'll be wavin' the hand on lower 38 in hopes of reachin' the mountains of NC.
Dude! Amazing find man. That's like a CB nuts dream! I can't believe you found all that for under $100 at a yard sale. That's like once in a lifetime kinda stuff. But that is cool how that works out you sell 2 of those and your new Uniden's free! It all happens for a reason they say. I'm looking forward to the videos on these new radios. I picked up a radio shack trc-447 today $30, your deal was way better lol. I'm looking forward to see the live feed and the tower! See ya-Josh
Again, nice video in this series of old CB radio history from the middle 1970's thru the 1980's for me. Still have but seldom turn the on CB radios with include a COBRA 29 LTD, ,142 GTL, 148 GTL, and a few Radio Shalack mobiles. But when you need them they're available.
Good job! You can never have to many radios... I have seen some snake charmer equipment recently but I don’t remember what it was I’m sure it wasn’t a radio but it was cb equipment...
@@FarpointFarms I know you might not care, but i just put in my mobile cb and talked barefoot twice once 6.8 miles then about 8 or 9 miles. Soon as i get time I’ll be putting up my base station. Thanks, for replying instead of just blowing me off. God bless your family and keep the videos coming. Bearded Dragon and i’m 73’s
Cool stuff! I have a Pace P-5430 test meter and an old Midland 13-886 that came with a telephone style handset. I run a Galaxy DX-959 and a Texas Ranger TR-396F.
An older friend of mine I knew back when I was a little fellow back in the 1960's use to talk to me all the time on the cb radio.When I got older life happened and I did not have time for c.b. Decades later I got back into the hobby and guess who was on the radio? My buddy Leland number 313 on sideband. He invited me over and for about a year and a half I would go to his home and talk on his higher dollar radios. In 2010 he gave me his magnum s-9.My jaw dropped.I kept asking,are you sure.He said,Yes its just collecting dust.in early 2012 he passed away from pancreatic cancer.He never told me about it.His wife told me he did not want anyone to know. He wanted me tell you when he passed away to tell you thanks for keeping him company on the radio while I was at work and he knew the radio he gave you that you would take good care of it. He was from the WW2 generation and they really dont make people like him anymore.I guess what Im trying to say,Is a lot of the older folks on the radio are passing away and they are definitely missed. If anyone read this thanks for letting me share and Holy Moly thats a great find on all those radios. 697 Nashville and cant wait to hear you on the radio. 73's
That's a great story, and sad all at the same time. Much like HAM radio CB is fading away as the "old guard" pass on. I'm fairly young to be this into radios in general. Most of the guys I meet that are hard core fans are 55+.
I dub thee ambassador of radios. I purchased two CBs and a HAM in last couple months and thought THAT was overkill haha. You're one lucky dude there, enjoy!
Farpoint Farms: Very cool!! I'm just wondering if you ever sell any of the radios you find. I'll explain why I ask: I'm looking for an ssb CB radio for as little $$ as possible. The reason is: I've got disabilities/am disabled and can't work anymore(doctor's orders). I have heart conditions, bad back, shoulder & hip problems. Since I'm not allowed to work I really have to watch every penny I spend. Being stuck at home alone will drive anyone bonkers after a while!! That's why I want to set up a CB mobile and base station. I can't find any deals like you find!! Might you have an older ssb cb that you might want to sell? (for not too much $$!!). Hey it never hurts to ask!! I'm a fellow CBer from the 1970's!! I have a magnetic antenna from Radio Shack(circa mid 1970's!!), so all I need is an SSB CB!! Any thoughts? Might you want to part with any of your ssb radios? Thanks in advance for reading and answering this. Yes, I already subscribed to your channel!! Take care, my CB & car brother!! 73's from Norman in Montreal!!
An exciting array of equipment.......yeah, I need to go sailing.....as my girlfriend calls it.....garage sale-ing. I know it's tacky but its fun, great finds !😊
I totally loved CB radio back when it was still popular in the late seventies and early eighties. I really miss it. I don't know where you could even get a decent radio or base station antenna these days??? I'd definitely want SSB though. Fast forward, I've now been a licensed ham for over 30 years. I sold all my equipment 5 years ago. There is virtually no local activity. Ham radio has FAILED to keep pace with technology and is probably headed for extinction in less than twenty years. It's a very sad situation.
I agree that both CB and HAM are facing the long slide into never never land. I guess I will ride it out to the bitter end, and who knows.... Maybe I'll be the last guy on the regular 40!
I had a Pace 2300B like the one you have. Hope yours is better than mine was. Mine was made on Friday the 13th, during overtime, and the quality control guy was going through a divorce! Poorest radio I've ever owned.
Ha! Sadly this was the only radio of the bunch that I wasn't able to bring back to life. I ended up selling it on Ebay for parts, so maybe the new owner has had better luck.
Do you monitor public safety or used too? Just curious would you get BearTracker 885?? Even though it's 400 bucks lol I' like scanners and CB so it's the best of both worlds. I'm gonna wait awhile for it to keep cheaper I think the p25 is nice my area is still anlog but that's gonna change soon
Love your videos I collect CB radios I have close to 20 I also transmit on them ch 38 lsb, what's your call sign or handle maybe we can talk one of these days.my is 531 central texas. Thanks
Hello sir i want cb radio second hand with ssb for home use as( hobey) if u have for sale ple. Let me now with price.and ple let me k now how t make for cb on call sien thanks have anice day.
I totally disagree. The 135XLR with extra channels has been peaked and tuned as well appparently. I'd bet that radio alone would get over $125 on Ebay. The other bases are worth around 50 a piece, the mic is a good $35, the three scanners are $10 a pop, and the SWR meter is worth at least $20. That comes to around $360. Add maybe $5.00 for the old 23 channel radio shack unit and 10 for the RG213 jumper and it looks like its really close to $400.

It's almost like an addiction.
Each radio has it's own personality. I love looking at these older ones and imagining the folks that created then during the peak of the CB craze.

thinking about getting back into cb, grant me patience to find a bargain lol
I hear ya!

Pretty much!

No, I don't have any amps for sale right now. I did come across a very old tube amp recently, but haven't tested it yet.

I've been keeping an ear out for him for 2 years now. Hasn't happened yet, but we are still trying!
Saweeeeet !
hee hee see now,if u had been around in our early days,early 70s..then u would know all that xtra gear for 23 ch sets..ohhhhh welllll
Yes! I've seen "expo" kits for added channels, but this is the first add on that I've ever seen that looks like that.
SCORE!!!!
That Royce is trash but the other ones are good.
You wanna sell the cobra 135 lol
I'm sorry to say that I passed it on to a friend a while ago.
Hey Dude Let me know if you want too sell some of that CB stuff the Old CB Base stations LMK

INFOWARS!
Lemme know I would like to get that layette of you
I could use a base station if your giving for free
The Pace sideband 23 channel unit has some issues, are you handy at fixing things?
Maybe do u know what's wrong with it
Those old radios are not worth $500.
You were right, they sold for over 1000.00 !
You wouldn't be willing to part with some of them
I ROBERT B MANNING CAN ONLY SPEND FROM 15;00 TO 35;00
Only one worth a damn is the 135, the rest are just parts boxes.
I totally disagree. The 135XLR with extra channels has been peaked and tuned as well appparently. I'd bet that radio alone would get over $125 on Ebay. The other bases are worth around 50 a piece, the mic is a good $35, the three scanners are $10 a pop, and the SWR meter is worth at least $20. That comes to around $360. Add maybe $5.00 for the old 23 channel radio shack unit and 10 for the RG213 jumper and it looks like its really close to $400.
Farpoint Farms okay if you're going to sell them yes there some value in the rest but less than what you mentioned
your wishes that it would be worth 4 to 500 dollas..only in your dreams , u paid just about the max it mite be worth
