Default What's your favorite 'vintage' CB rig?



I've got a few from the 'boom years':

Royce's 1-641, 1-642 and 1-639 AM/SSB rigs...the 1-625 AM set. Would love to get my hands on an excellent condition SBE LCBS-8, Midland 78-999 or GE Superbase. Maybe a CPI2000 with the accessory counter/tuner unit.

Anyone else collect or use the older gear?
