thanks for the replyGreat looking radio with good audio to boot. I looked to see if I had anything on it, but didn't. I recall there was a third "twin sister" radio but the brand name escapes me.
It looks a lot like a JC Penney and Colt radio. Wish I could help.

hello
i am looking for a service manual, schematic for this radio.
nice looking radio that is broken and in need of repairs.
my sams index does not list this radio.
there is a lloyds a510 radio that is identical to this radio.

tubetech, can we get a pic of the PC board? and which PLL is in it?
if we can't find that exact radio, we can probably find one of the 20 clones of it.

Yepper Ext.13, time will tell brother ! Dag gone it ya never know huh.Hmm, this setup looks like the "sardine can" setup that was used in some of the Royce CB radios. A few of the Royce AM and a couple of the AM/SSB radios used that type of layout on the board. I would look into some Royce schematics and see if you can find any similarities there. You might hit the jackpot.

well i searched and i searched, and the best i can do is a bit of an educated guess.
I think it might have an LC7110 PLL in that sardine can, and if it does; it might be like the GE-5871B base station, or the Realistic TRC-454 (telephone style handset) radio.
take a look inside your sparkomatic and see if you can find any similarities to these radios.
CBtricks has a service manual for the TRC-454, but you'll have to find/buy the SAMS for the GE base station, as there is no info online for it. (SAMS CB#177)
you'll have to take the wheel from here in order to determine if these chassis are the same.
best of luck.
