Hello folks my dad was heavy into cb radios in the 70's and 80's I recently found a trc-450 ssb radio he bought new but never used it is still in the box wrapped up and never opened. I found the radio in a closet in there house after he passed. My question is do you think the radio will fire up and work or because of the age capicitors and other things may be to old? Is it risky to power it up or should I let a tech do it or what. I want to put the radio in my truck (silverado) also is a cigarete lighter ok to use as a power source? thanks guys.
