What's your favorite 'vintage' CB rig?

Lafayette Comstat 25A and B.
Midland 13-880B
Those I have.
Coolest rig I never had is a Tram Titan 2.
I once had a Mesur Matic Saturn CBX-15 but I will not ever likely find another one!! I have watched Ebay for YEARS and never seen one yet!

I never cared about buying a high-end radio in the 70's. Most guys thought they were doing okay if they had a Cobra 29LTD. Did have a President Adams SSB Mobile in the 80's that seemed cool. Rare now ..... if you have a good looking & working Adams in the closet you can name your price on eBay right now :X3: A local tech was adding those Expander Boxes to them so they did 26~28 straight through in 5kc steps. president_adams.jpg

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
