Have you ever heard of the radio before ?

Hi there everyone ,
Has anyone here ever seen or heard of a Sanyo TA-1000 , 23 channel , CB radio base station before ? I recently bought one ... still new in it's original box , with it's original stock mic and hardware ... and it's in "Very New" condition . It works good , and sounds good on the air ... but I've never heard of this model of CB radio before , and I can't find any information about it on the internet . If you search it on Google , you'll find a video clip of me doing a quick videogate of it with a friend ... and one image of one that someone shared on another forum a few years ago , but that's it .

I finally figured that there must be somebody out there that must know something about the Sanyo TA-1000 , so I decided to ask if there's anyone else that might know anything about it .

I'm having an easier time finding information about radios like the ARF-2001 .... and there were only a thousand of those made ... lol

Reminds me of the original 23-channel "Navaho" model. Before they started plastering that name on a series of other models.

Can't remember the model number for that one. Wayback machine is down, so I'll have to look for it later.

CB Tricks came back on the Wayback Machine, but nothing there.

The Sams index starts with TA2000, 4000 and 6000. No mention of one thousand.

Makes it look like a true orphan.

Time for me to unload the rest of the 23-channel "parts" radios from the basement. Fleabay here they come.

Here's a shot of the box that the radio came in

It's a Teaberry "T" Control clone. CB tricks doesn't cover that model, but Sam's #88 does...

After doing another search on the “T” Control I found that CB Tricks did produce a page for that radio, but for some reason it wasn’t listed on their Teaberry index page. Anyway, this “back door” link should help. I also would refresh all electrolytic capacitors with new ones, especially for a radio that old that has never been used. Reasons for recapping are discussed elsewhere on this forum.

Yep, it's like they were separated at birth
