Great find , had a good find on friday , good weekend from Tenby Wales

Great deal on some excellent old radios. All Favorites of mine and well-known time-tested Radios. Thanks for Sharing John and have a great weekend. Catch you at the hangout. 73 Ny202/Drew.

You can normally tell if a radio has a ton of hours on it because the meter lights will be burned out. Now you have to figure out which ones will be winter projects and which ones will go in the parts box. Early last month I got a Second Chance option on a Tram Titan 4, so I took it. The story from the seller was that the radio, among others, were found when a long-abandoned CB shop was cleared out. The seller was from North Carolina and was quite honest about the radio condition. Years of water dripping on the left side of the wooden case ruined it. The radio itself most likely wound up in the shop due to issues caused by cold solder joints, which I've repaired. The main reason I bought it was because the printed letters on the front panel are in really good shape. They wear off way to easily for a radio whose MSRP was $627 in 1973 dollars. Three big resistors went up in stinky smoke but they were easily replaced.

Fantastic score! Have fun playing with those. 73's from #121, Ontario Canada

Killer score my friend. Saving some classic rigs from the dump👍

Hey Mower! You are one lucky guy. I have spend alot of money try to buy SSB CB radio. All but one worked it is a Midland SSB where the clarifier is on the microphone. I bought a export Excalibur SSB base station. but someone butcher the PLL on a beautiful radio. If you see it look brand new still in the box it came in. Hope to catch you one day on the radio. 73!

That 148 for 20 by itself was a great deal but nice catch on the whole lot.

i currently own and operate 2 Cobra 148 GTLs. One in the car and the other in the house. Great radios!

You did really well with that buy. Could not of happened to a better family. Your wife and you remind me of my family years ago when we did CB. Lots of fun.

@Mower Junkie your videos have giving me a reason to give CB a second chance. I took a break for 2 years after being a cb'er for 35 years. I also gave you a shout out on my channel. 73 from DX-390 in the Bluegrass

Good Job John the 148 alone is worth the 20 bucks. Enjoy. This is what radio is all about

Sweet deal, bro. Good to see you again; it's been a while since I've caught you online.

That's awesome for sure I work on some of the older ones like that when I run across them nice find indeed

Excellent video John :) lots goodies find on Marketplace place in talking radios for sure and myself has to in past 4 years for parts or good condition to!

Congratulations on a great deal👍

Hi MJ 151! Don't you just love getting a great deal? A month ago I scored a Uniden PC66XL and a Messenger 2V linear for thirty bucks! Both are working too! If I hear you on the air with the 148 I'll run a video gate! 73's!!! 325 NJ

HEY! I'm glad you got these! I saw they sold and was hoping you got them! Heck the mics alone was worth the $20. Guess non working others you can keep for parts. And a good working 148 is just icing on top!

Incrideble, congratulations...

You find some good deals mower junkie, I'm glad they went to a good home. 73s!

I love these unknown power-up videos because you never know what you’re gonna get…

Remembering my CB, that Regency might be a good radio because you stated that the jack on the mic is bad. Well, I remember that you need 3 wire connected on the mic to transmit and receive; with 1 wire being common to the other two - ground. Ground one wire to transmit and ground the other wire to receive. You need to poke about the mic jack on the radio to find them: ground being the easiest to find with a mutlimeter. Then ground the other pins to it to see what the radio does. Chances are finding what pins dies what will get that radio to work.

Great score my friend!!!

Awesome !! I like that newer style 148 . If you want to sale it ,, I’m interested ,, hint hint 😊

On the Regency, you might try fiddling with the mic wires, they look a little ragged. Some of those old radios had to have a mike to work.

Great find, And found a use for QRM ch 6🤣, Was the clarifier unlocked on the 148, and was it freqed?

Good one

I believe that 148 has a low receive. It showed weak signals while the 21ltd and Road Talker showed more. I have had several 148's China, and low receive is fairly common. With a preamp they are acceptable, aligning the receive didn't help the ones I had with low receive. But one 148 I had was better, I kept that one. Hopefully yours was on when signals were truly low and not just the fault of the radio, but I doubt that was it.

I have that regency...was in my dad's old dodge forever..it will talk..will do 10 watts..

I heard you in there a little while ago but couldn't get you. 73's, 169 South Texas

I love those old CB radios. Modern are awful, disposable, weak speakers with low dynamics. Good health :-)

Nice! if u have any extras, please send 'em here!😂

That 148 would look great in my camanche. Maybe work out a deal when you get tied of it.

That 21 is ready for one-a them heat sink lookin' things!!!

When you said the 148 wasn't one of the good ones, could you elaborate on that? I don't know much about the 148, but I've been considering getting one.

As for that 148 the 148 GTL DX is the far better unit it has everything on it that you could ever need in a 2way transciever.

Do you ever sell any ssb radios I'm looking for one

I’ll give ya $20 just for the 148 🤣 I wish they would list stuff besides the standard cobra 29’s around here. I like them, but I already have enough. I look occasionally in hopes of seeing a SSB radio locally.
