Hey Everyone , I just wanted to say hi . I've been a member on the forum for about 10 (almost 11) years . I don't post much but I like to read everyone else's posts . With that said , I just thought I'd make a post and ask to see if anyone else likes to use those old 23 channel CB radios like I do ... especially the tube type .
I love those old , glowing radios . I have a few that I like to fire up every now and then . Here in the area I live in , the people all sit on 38 LSB all day , and they don't seem to have what it takes to make it out there to Skipland . So my "Old Timers" don't get used as much as I'd like them to get . I am however , thinking about getting an "Old Radio Night" type thing going here sometime soon . Anyway , I'm just kind of rambling on now ... lol
I just wanted to see if anyone out there loves those older radios like I do , and if so , what do you like to use ?
I have a few old Cobra's , some Browning's , and my 2 current favorites are an old Kris 23+ , and a Lafayette Comstat 23 .

I have a few old Cobra's , some Browning's , and my 2 current favorites are an old Kris 23+ , and a Lafayette Comstat 23 . What? Are you kidding? If you've read most of the posts here, you'd know that old radios are what we do here (at least most of us). We support Old Radio Night, Old Tube Radio Network, and my (admittedly biased) favorite Classic Radio Roundup, and any other efforts to keep those old war horses from the 60's and 70's going strong. From Browning to Tram and any brand in between, they're all classic radios. Starting an old radio night is a little like "Field of Dreams". If you build it, they will come. It's amazing how many people are out there, disillusioned with much of the smack talking that goes on, and are just waiting for something interesting to revive their interest in radio again. I say give it a try! You never know what might happen....
