Teaberry Stalker XX Export, when brand new..

[43Echo695]

Has anyone on the forum been around long enough to remember when this radio was sold new, did it come from the factory with the extras, was the packaging, user manual, radio faceplate etc embossed with FM, Hi/Lo etc etc?

Or was this all done later as an aftermarket thing by dealers or retailers?

Maybe you bought one.

Thanks & 73's

They came from the factory like that, meant for overseas sales

Back then they were called "export" radios, since the only legal way to sell one was to ship it outside the USA and the FCC's territory. The features that were not USA-legal were okay in other countries.

Wasn't legal to sell in the states, but they got smuggled in anyway.

Pretty sure that radio will date to the mid-1980s or so.
