Made in 1976 but never hooked up.

[Captain Kilowatt]

That's right.Today a guy at work brought in a CB radio for me because he knew I was interested in radio. (too bad it wasn't a ham rig LOL) His father passed away last winter and while cleaning out some stuff he found an old CB radio but as it happens the radio was still in the plastic bag and was NEVER hooked up. It was made in Japan in 1976 for a Canadian company called Canada Mark Electronics Ltd.the model is Rocket MR-85. Here is a link to what the radio looks like however in the link it says it is a 23 channel but this is a 40 channel. It must surely be one of the first 40 channel radios made. The serial number is 3178 FWIW. Not sure yet what I will do with it.

Nice looking radio, try it out and see how it works and let us know .

The radio uses a push pull audio amplifier. This audio amp is used for both transmit and receive audio.

Woo Hoo!
do the NPC mod on it and lets see how it works!
Best part is it uses parts that us experienced ( vintage ) guys can see with out a microscope!.

Cool deal Cap!
