    Man, then that truly is a rare radio!! I would put it away as well. I do like the looks of it, if it had ssb, it would have made it been better IMO. But yes sir, nice radio. P

    Thanks, I just get lucky every now and then and find a jewel. Sometimes I even get to pay a little money for them.

    Put it on eBay with a chunky reserve $150, nothing to loose...just something to gain. Right??

    Nah, wouldn't you rather inherit it? There is a small fortune in radios up here.

    Since there were on 12 and who knows how many are left? $375.00 to $400.00? It would be for a collector not an end user

    I have 7 working radios in my museum but they aint nothing special. I fact I only have 1 that is "rare" a Transonic 23 ch. It's not a very good one at that, but it is the first one i repaired on my own. I inheirited it from my neighbor when he died so its kinda special in that regard. The only info I have found on Transonic is that they only made 2 models before they went bust. Cant even find a schematic or any other technical info. The rest are so common I'm ashamed to list them. I guess my Cobra 29xlr would be the next oldest, it works, has strong signal but weak modulation. I have changed everything but the mic. amp. With no luck. One of the xtals has a broken leg that I soldered back. I need to replace it but trying to find a 11.530mhz has proved to be a pain. My Navajo trc433 works all the way. I use it when I'm outside. I call it my front porch model. I have my Galaxy 959,wich is new, in service as my base. And my Philly built 66 I just got cleaned up and recieves/talks so well that it's in use also. I may put it in the mobile. I am puting one of the cobra 19s in a Igloo ice cooler with a battery from a power wheels jeep and short ant for takeing to the river when fishing, camping ect.
