Ya, they where, one walked off when my car window got smashed while I was
out driving my yellow cab. The other one lasted a few more years until I got
a call at work that my then wifes car had been hit while parked and had been
totaled.

So for a long time all I had left was that BIG Base/mobil and it was a good
radio. Then a lighting hit on power lines took out the AC power supply so I
took it into a CB shop in Sunland,CA. to have that fixed.

When I got it back, I don't know what he did, but it was trashed, when I
went back on the air, not even a 100mw walkie sitting a block away could
hear me!

Sad to say that 2 other shops later on and it died . There was one of those
not long ago on e-bay and only about 50 miles from me and for awhile my bids
where doing fine, then the last day, it went threw the roof, leaving me far
out of the game..

So it looks like I'm stuck with AM when I get it set up in my car with the
104in steel whip.

I had 3 of them at one time, two of the led models ( leds never burned

too as a base on a combo PDLII and Starduster.

Rock on with the throw-back. Good radio.
