It's a gorgeous radio at a fantastic price. I just don't do vintage gear anymore........ radios like that Golden Eagle are well over a half century old, and upkeep is expensive and parts often hard to get.What am I missing here? Not a single comment or potential buyer? Great looking radio at a fantastic price. Where is everybody?
But.... None of the radios you like will be around a half century from now. A refurbished Browning that is done right will out talk and out receive any new Chinese radio. Put a small amp behind it and they can't be beat. And there will still be working Brownings another hald century from now if anyone is still using CB. But then again I'm a Browning guy.It's a gorgeous radio at a fantastic price.

Besides, the modern gear is more powerful, more versatile with frequencies, more efficient, and takes up way way way less of my desk space! To each their own !
Not sure it matters. I would be astonished if CB radio is still any kind of thing half a century from now. Not when half the people on the band are busy trying to ruin it with splatterbox amps, noise toys, overdriven mics, political rants, racist crap, and every other kind of idiocy you can think of !But....

Some guys are willing to part with their hard-earned money and a few teeth just for the nostalgia. I know because I’m one.And getting parts is tough as pulling teeth.
