So he could get those junky free batteries.

Me too......

And don't forget Radio Shack Lifetime tubes
I have to admit I might have abused that warranty a few times....

I have two of them. It seems that one has to basically yell into the microphone to get it to actually modulate. Though its younger brother the HTX-10 works great.

I may have to bring it back out and try a different mic. (Maybe the one it had was broken.)

The glue, always gets the mic element in those

The battery cards we had were punched by the clerk. I don't remember that card.

Yep, punch out each month when you picked your freebie.

I had the RS two meter mag mount antenna, I still think it was the best two meter antenna mobile antenna ever. I would use one today if I could find one.

I still have mine out in the shed. I used it back in the mid 90s when I first got my ticket. It worked surprisingly well with just a HT driving it..

I didn't realize it got the mic like that. :/ A shame...

I at least recapped the 1 HTX-100, and removed that glue inside the radio. There was some fixes for the radio at the mic audio. Something about removing a ceramic cap, and changing out a capacitor, and using a resistor where you remove the ceramic cap etc... I would need to find where I found that. It honestly seemed to of helped, but I will need to compare it to the other HTX-100 that is still left alone without the changes.
