Front view with microphone. - Submitted by Mike

This radio was one of my first CB radios and I kicked myself for having sold the first one I ever bought.
It was ground-breaking in that it didn't look like any other CB transceiver on the market at the time.
Given that a lot of car interiors in the '80's where black and plastic based, this radio was quite popular during it's lifetime.
There were two versions of this model of radio, a 27 MHz set (Australia) and a 26 MHz set (the one that I have, because of the way that our TV channels were allocated in New Zealand).
Unfortunately, as time goes by, most of these radios develop a fault with the LED display for the channel indicators and while they can be repaired, it is not a simple task.
