Did anyone else see this laughable piece of junk on Ebay for a starting bid of $30.00? The original meter has been cut out and a coolant temperature gauge has been stuck in it's place. This radio is non-working, and it looks like it has been sitting in a dusty old barn since the 1970s. Check out the close up picture of the radio. It has already been around the EBay auction block a few times with no bids, so apparently this bozo actually thinks someone will pay him money for it. www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Regency-Model-CR-142-AM-CB-Transceiver-/180794862650?pt=US_CB_Radios&hash=item2a1836ac3a-Night Ranger

Imagine the signal reports you could give: "You're hitting me with at least a 220° degree signal!" For really strong stations I'd have steam coming out from the sides!

But I wouldn't pay $5 for that beat up junk...... The choice of meter is neat though. You could use it for tracking. So as someone got closer, you could tell them, "You're getting warmer". ;D

It's probably already cost him more than $35.00 in Ebay listing fees. I had one in better shape than that one that I threw in the trash. The plastic channel selector got cracked in shipping. Night Ranger

Night Ranger Wow! The temp gauge radio is still on the block? Holy heck! Some people just don't get the hints...... If you want to sell a vintage piece of gear and get a decent price for it, it has to be in clean cosmetic condition. Otherwise, it's just scrap. And I wouldn't pay more than $5 for a scrap parts doner.

That radio with the temp gauge is an ebay listing classic. It's been on there for almost a year. They have paid more in listing fees than the heap is worth by now. It also made it on "Bonanza" another auction site I peruse. It still makes me chuckle when I see it.

That's just it, Ebay doesn't charge listing fees anymore for basic auctions, only fees on the sold item. So you'll continue to see crap relisted for ridiculous prices.
