Yeah, that's what my Dad paid ($20) in '68. I was too young to get my own, but it was for my use, and God help me if I got him in trouble over something illegal, like talking skip. I think the only time he used a CB (Midland 13-857b) was when my family ('cept me) moved from Connecticut to Texas...
Well, it wasn't in either closet, so I guess I did sell it and forgot about it (sometimes I see pictures I took of other radios I've owned, sold, and even didn't remember I actually owned it). Sorry to get your hopes up, Woody

As I recall, it matched the McKinley FCC that my son has (but compare the sizes online to be sure). My EU looks just the same as the FCC. Just google Knights Telecom or "President EU" and you'll get several links from the UK. Knights ships to the US, and they're fairly fast getting it to you. I...
There are quite a few older Yaesu's around. I still use my '84 757GX daily, and leave it on 24/7 until I replace the internal battery that maintains the frequencies and memory channels. Once I clear some space on the bench I'll move it there and unbox the FT-710 that came in last week. Kenwood...
