Radios
Any sort of CB tribute would not be complete without mentioning the equipment that we all ran to get those signals out over the air. The radios which belonged to the people I knew, ran the gamut from rinky-dink battered up old 6 channel tube rigs, to shiny new top of the line 23 channel SSB base sets. This page pays homage to those CB rigs which were popular with the people in my local area during the 1970's and later. This list is by no means complete, and I know there were far more radios out there than what is reflected in this list. This list is primarily slanted toward the radios that my friends and other local people I knew used, with a few dream rigs thrown in.
As I continue my search, examples of many of these rigs have slowly managed to find a home in my growing vintage CB collection.
