LC, That lamp would blend in with most radio desks. LOL. I had my radio up until someone broken into my place 6 or 7 years ago and whoever it was decided they needed it more than i did. That large meter on the radio paired up with a set of 5' Heli Whips on the rear bumper made the best Fox Hunt...
Loosecannon, That looks like a 23 channel Regency CR-186 mobile in your avatar. That was the first radio i played on years ago. Had it on a power supply and a 1/4 wave Radio Shack ground plane. It was also the first radio i figured out how to put channel 24 in. That was back when Red Skelton was...

I got a deal on a Uniden Washington that is bone stock but it burps/farts when I key the mic. It's not any type of key up noise toy. I've heard that it's a common issue for this radio but i cant find any info online to attempt to fix it other than somebody knew somebody that had a friend that...
