how much did you pay?
I got 7 radios for $35 once. The included some Cobra 29's, 25's and a Connex and I believe a couple of the radios has an rk56 and d104-m6b hanging off them. This was at a hamfest about 2 years ago. Hams hate CB so they tend to dump their cb shit cheap. it's a good place to get deals. Look up when your local hamfests will be and go. Flea markets too are great.

Hams do not hate CB radios! I still buy radios all the time. I fix 'em up and turn them for cash unless it is radio I really like. I have quite a few Cobra 148GTLs, Sears RoadTalker mobiles, and the RoadTalker Base/mobile units, and RadioShack radios of all types. I still run CB when I'm on the road. I think all hams started with CB's with the rare exception of the ones that had fathers who were ham radio operators.
All answers are opinions and may, or may not be technically correct.
I have quite a few vintage radios. The only sideband radio is my HR2510 and I do not want to use it in my car. My roadtalkers are bases. I bought a cheap Cobra Ultra 3 radio new for the car.I was suprised how well it works.One of my adapters allows me to use my Astatic power microphones on it.

I Tend to stay away from 23 channel radios. I only got the browning for ssb a and the mic. Thren learned most of the talking happens on the upper channels like 38. This Tuesday the old feller I mess around cb stuff with is trading me a few things for that radio and mic. He goes by "preacher black". He usually hangs out on the upper channels since he has a channel kit on his base.
