i had the same thing with kens, i gave credit card info and ordered some crystals for a older sonar cb. waited and waited for them to show up, he didnt charge the credit card and no crystals, i called a few times and was promised the order but it never happened, its ashame because he stocks a lot of hard to get (obsolete) items for the older tube cb radios. ,,, jimbo

flea market radios that i have bought have been a lot better than the ebay crap that have been hacked by golden screwdrivers and over inflated prices, most of the time they are bone stock original with very little use and people sell them because they are not cb people.

not to start a controversy, but type accepted, is a old 8 channel sonar still type accepted by todays standards? is the many export radios sold and used on 11 meters type accepted, not to mention the many amps sold and used, in my opinion there is more non- type accepted equipment used today than there is type accepted, if one were to use type accepted equipment you would not be heard over what others are using! unfortunately the 70's are gone, i used cb myself back then, got back into it several years ago and have a lot of vintage equipment along with a lot of newer radios. its a different world. lots of power being used, export radios tweaked and peaked. audio monster radios rule the roost. still cant beat that browning ping, or the tube audio of the trams and other tube radios , but type accepted is definately the minority nowadays,,,,,,, jimbo

i have a real nice regency range gain radio, the old double sideband cb radio that is just a little off frequencie, can some one help me on where the adjusting point is to get it on frequencie, i have a frequencie counter, just need to know where to adjust. there is a cage covering the crystals along with a tube in the cage, is this where it can be dialed in, it seem to be a little off, for example channel 19 is 27.1843. any help would be apreciated, i am looking forward to using this radio, it is nice and clean, modulation is very good, thanks in advance,,,,,,,,, jim

i was wondering if some one could tell me or point me in the right direction for hooking up a glenn vfo to a mark 3 i have, the radio has had a vfo hooked up to it before as there is jacks already on the receiver and transmitter, i do not know what kind of vfo was connected to it, i have a glenn that i got that was hooked up to a regency radio, i believe 123 model and was wondering if there is a way i can use it on the browning, i dont have a clue, any help would be apreciated,,,,,, jim
