I don't know a whole lot about the old base stations, but I've been toying with the idea of picking one up to play with.
I keep seeing these Messenger radios pop up on the local classified ads. Now there is one listed with an old car mount cell phone for $75 dollars. Its a Johnson Messenger 124-m. I'm thinking I could talk the guy down on the price by buying the radio only.
My question is, is it worth buying for about $50 not knowing if it works or not? Is the repair on one of these going to be a massive scavenger hunt for expensive parts? And are these good radios in general?
