    Help ID'ing a SSB mobile?

    So I was reading that this may have been marketed as a 120 channel radio, but that it was largely marketing hype. So far I haven't found any manuals or anything that clearly describes how I should operate it. I would like to put some voltage to it this evening, but the 120 channels is not...

    Help ID'ing a SSB mobile?

    I stumbled upon this at the fleamarket today for $5.00. Anybody know what it is? No tags and nothing I could find on the board It has a 4 pin Midland mic. At first I was thinking Sears based on the 106 sticker on the backplate, but I couldn't find anything via Google. Many thanks in advance.
