Yeah...another poll

[Thestonerguy]

I periodically come out with what I think are the most rare of CB's, and Ebay is usually a pretty good "meter", but then ya never know. A CB may come up for auction that you haven't seen in years - if at all and fetch a huge price, and then for months after that Ebay is deluged with auctions for the same rig (guess it really wasn't THAT rare after all, just thought of as worthless and packed in someone's closet).

So to start this off I'll tell ya what I think ISN'T rare, followed by a few examples of what I do think is rare....and maybe you'll have a few I didn't think of.

ISN'T-
Any Tram, with the exception of the Corsair
Any Browning
5oth anniversary edition EF Johnson 250
Lafayette Comstat 25B and 35

IS-
Tram Corsair
Robyn SB-540
E.F. Johnson 351
Lafayette Comstat 25 (not the 25A or B, just plain 'ol 25)

Your turn...

Hi Jeff, they don't pop up too frequently.....but did you see the modified 2340 on Ebay, in the last month with a digital channel readout? That was pretty cool!

I had a FS2340 w the display, that was the factory up-grade when the rules changed from 23 to 40. If you get a chance to see one, it used about 7 seperate IC`s to build the PLL section of the Radio, this mounted on a couple of pc boards directly behind the channel display.
And yes, it was a very cool radio, wish I had never let it go.....

I mistyped, it had a digital frequency readout. His pictures were terrible (from his cell phone no less), but here's a link to a fuzzy picture:

The Pro Niner's are fairly frequent flyers on Ebay, but the other 3 you don't see that often, especially the 880.

Now that is a one of a kind....but WHY did he put those god-awful handles on it ugh.

What did the thing go for?

Rare for ebay: Any new/used CB that hasn't had the guts all hacked up.

Jeff if it is the one that I seen not to long ago it went for around $255.00. It didn't look to great to me!
