ROBB thanks for the info.

The radio is not really important to me per say. I gave it to my dad many years ago.

Dad will never key the mic but he likes to listen. Then tell all his friends at work when he was working that he has this cb and this antenna and I think I even set him up with a D&A Maverick 250. Of course he never used it but he had it and that is what matters.

When I helped them move down here to GA. as now he is 74 yrs old, has some medical problems and has been retired for several years. He dragged out that old Uniden and asked me if I could check it out for him.

So sort of going through it front to back and aligning it, cleaning the pots and controls to get it back to reliable working condition. Then I will hand it back to dad, set up some sort of Ground Plane antenna and he can listen to this solar cycle.

So sentimental value is what the radio is.
