Was coming out of my local hardware store & getting in my car when a man seen I had a CB in my car. He ask if I wanted a base station that was his grandfathers. It was in his car and showed it to me and I seen it was a Royce with a Turner Plus Three power mic. I was in a hurry to take a 2 hour trip so I just grabbed it and ran because I was in a hurry to get to where I was going. My first radio was a Royce so I have a soft spot for Royce. Well after I got to where I was going I checked it closer and found it was a small 23 channel AM Royce base Model 1-620 A built in 1974. When I made it back home from my trip I had to clean it a little and hook it up to power it up. ( Doubtful ) When I finally got it to fire up ( loose dirty connections ) on channel 19 I was amazed how good that little radio sounded and all lites lite up even the transmit lite. If a man like restoring that sort of thing it would make a nice project for someone. I'm thinking about making the offer of a free radio to someone if you pay the freight. Other than that I might just give it to my local electronic scrap guy.
