Hey B-DOG -


This rig isn't in any of the Sam's manuals because it was a KIT radio, and not sold pre-assembled. Sorry.

Here's some info and specs. 73s.

Also here's a link to a Knight-Kit Forum. Maybe you can find some more help there.

hey birddog,

i have one of these radios.

bought it on ebay about 6 or 7 years ago intending to restore it, but havent gotten around to it yet.

at that time there were a couple of manuals online and i printed them out.

its the owners manual and the assembly manual if i remember correctly.

i really dont have the time to photocopy the manuals for you, but if you PM me, maybe we can work something out.

ill tell you right now that im leary of sending manuals out with a promise of getting them back as ive been burned a couple of times in the past.

if you can think of a way to assure me that i will get the manuals back, then i will send them out to you to copy.

Old post but I just picked up one of those Yesterday & it looks almost New.Most channels are pretty badly off frequency so it may just be a shelf sitter as Eye Candy.

I have no clue how to post them here but I have posted them on a couple of FB groups. Tube CB Radios Only and CB Radio Lounge. Maybe you can see them there?

Right next to the box where you type a reply, next to post a reply it says upload a file.

It always tells me the file is to large.

Go into paint and reduce the size by 50% and try again.

Depending upon how far off frequency those crystals are, in many cases they can be tweaked back within reasonable tolerance. I have a set of PF trimmers, plus various sizes of wire wound inductors to add in series just for that purpose. If you need a little inductance to move the frequency in the desired direction, the small RF chokes that you commonly see on solid state CB boards will work great. Most of them will have around 20-40 turns on a 1 or 2 watt resistor sized form. I usually end up taking a few turns off at a time to tweak within usable range. A less stable option to be sure, but better than buying high priced custom made crystals.

just to put it out there, i still have my knight safari 1 in a box somewhere, so i can look at it as a reference if someone needs it.

I might also still have the manuals, but i seem to have a faint memory of someone promising me that they would return them to me and...

let me know if i can be of some help.

Graphics are a second hobby of mine so I don't have a problem scanning, enhancing or sending images in any verity of formats. I only wish I had what you need, but I’ll keep an eye out for a manual / schematic and let you know if I run across anything in the future. There’s DVD’s for sale on-line that lists many Knight Kits, but unfortunately the Safari I hasn’t made any list that I have seen yet. On the other hand if I did have that prized manual in my possession and didn’t have the means to copy it, I would set up a returnable deposit fee agreement between parties and use PayPal as the transaction medium. Just a thought…
