Bought vintage RCA Co-Pilot base. Of course the POS does not work. I am DONE with vintage CBs.

I'm sorry that keeps happening.
Personally, I am collecting radios as budget permits, to support my "fun in retirement" .... if I ever DECIDE to retire!!!!!! Doesn't matter whether they work or not.
If they work? Good. I'll use them to buff up alignment skills.
If they don't work? Good still. I'll fix them... THEN align them.
But I understand..... if you don't have MY SICKNESS... that can be disappointing.

In last year I bought five vintage CBs and none worked.

If you are buying from Ebay, you take that risk. This is why I never buy radios from Ebay. Try swap meets, ham fest, etc.

If you can find a hamfest with a good "tailgate sale" you can find some REAL deals!!!!! Still.... you are always taking that "chance". On the "inside sales" they often have a checkout bench where they will power them up and feed them a dummy load and at least TRY to key them up just to see if the basics work.
