      Just one more project to fool around with. I just have too many projects lol I still have an ebony handle I have to put on a bowie knife and a 4 barrel F100 Holley carb to rebuild still sitting on my work bench in my garage besides radios everywhere lol

    If I remember correctly, these were good radio's, I know the (Hot Water) HW-101's were very popular, fantastic deal Larry! ~Jack, VEG

      Yes in talking to my brother today he had a 20 meter one of these back in 1977 and had it installed in in his 1977 El Camino worked great for him. He still has it collecting dust in the basement of his log home in California he went ug when I said that because he has to move all of that stuff out since he is selling the log home in california but at least he has the supply so i can test this out.

    Nice, the original Mike is hard to find, but there are many other ones that work. Great deal on what looks like a very clean unit.

      My brother has a 20 meter one of these complete with the mike and power supply so tha'ts how i am going to test it but I will test and clean everything before he gets back from his vacation home on the Island of Flores in the Azores. 8 days from tomorrow he will be back thank God and i can stop watching over his two houses.

      LUCKYLARRY better keep an eye on those two houses, they might walk away if no one is watching them ;)

      Well the one in California is an hour and 40 minutes away from me in the forest its a log home and there have been forest fires near there and this other house is a 5 bedroom that he bought two blocks from me and has been rebuilding it so I have his lawns and landscaping in the front and back that covers 1/3 of an acre I have to mow and water by hand so its just a lot of work and headaches i dont need. Thank God he comes back next week

      Thanks for commenting Robert. My brother used a single bander in his 1977 El Camino for years and it always worked great.
