WTB : Old 23 Channel SSB Radios

[Raccoon]

Hi everyone ,
I'm not new to the group , but it has been awhile since I've posted ... I read more than I post . I like the old 23 channel Single Sideband Radios , and I've been looking to add some to the few that I have . I've been looking on ebay , but I think some of those guys have lost their minds . Especially since I don't dare to buy a radio there anymore to begin with . I've definitely been burned by ebay sellers more than once .

Anyway , I'm looking for older 23 channel **Single Sideband** radios , that are working ... and fairly reasonably priced ... after all , they are 40 plus year old solid state equipment ... and some tube .

I don't buy and sell . I buy them ... keep them , use them , and add them to my collection .

So please send me a private message if you have any that you might be willing to part with .

I no doubt have some likely. What preferences do you have in brands or base or mobile or just what you said, kinda open as long as they work decent ?

I like base and mobile , so that doesn't matter . There are a few brands I like , like Browning for example . But for the most part it doesn't matter . I just like older SSB radios .

As someone has pointed out to me . I said 23 channel , but I don't mind 40 channel either . I just want the radios to be from the 70s and early 80s era with SSB .

I've got lots of 23 ch I'd be okay with selling and some have been upgraded to 40 ch or more...

Retro , I replied to your message .

w9cll ... I've always been amazed at how something could sit that many years , and never get used . I'm not saying you're wrong ... I just can't help but wonder why people buy something like that , and then never use it ... not to mention anyone else that might have bought it and then did the same thing ... lol


I have a Dwight D that was the same way . New in it's box , never used . Until I bought it ... lol . It even still smelled brand new when I opened it .

I know it's never been used because I am the original owner. I bought it new in 1975 I believe and never used it. It's still wrapped in plastic. I bought two of these at the same time, used one and kept the other as a backup hence it never being used.

w9cll ... I've bought plenty of "New Old Stock" items over the years . So I know it happens , I've just always wondered how things get bought , and manage to go years without being opened or used .
