Classic CB
Royce Dean
CB in about 20 years. The last few nights several of us have created what we
call as "boat anchor nights". I brought out the old Hallicrafters CB-3A(Over
40 years old), and Johnson Messenger I. Lots of fun, with the nice audio
quality. A lot of enjoyment can be had, while remaining legal. Any other
input on the topic is more than welcomed! Any other old-timers, or old radio
enthusiasts out there with similar experiences?

If you were around here, I'd fire up the Regency Range Gain.

Vibratrol.
SBE Console II is still the bench radio.

that have old tube radios, I am going to try to get a group to hook up the
old tube rigs on Friday or Saturday nights and talk on them. I thought it
would be kinda fun. I just have to find a tube rig first. I want one with
SSB. I saw a couple on Ebay I probably should have bought.

Wow! My kind of CBing! I sure wish there were a group of people, in my
area, who would start a "retro-revival". I have several oldies but
goodies. I have a Lafayette Comstat 25 (My original base), a Comstat
25A, as well as several other solid state (and one hybrid) radios that
are over 25 years old (Antique in car terms).
It makes sense though. Many of us, who grew up with CB as teenagers, are
going through that mid-life "crisis" where we wax reminiscent about the
things we did, and miss about our youth. This puts us in the 40-50 year
old range, which falls into the time of greatest growth of CB, from
1968-1978.
Break out the lava lamps, black lights, Peter Max posters, pop in an
8-track tape, and enjoy the sounds of an old tube type CB!

Sure thing! Besides, most of those old tube rigs could be pumped up
considerably beyond legal limits!

in my area. What fun! Although I haven't participated (yet) in
anything like that, I have begun to start collecting old CB gear. I
picked up a pair of Brownings, an R-27/S-23, a Tram Titan II, an old
Pace 2300C, and an old Johnson 2 channel SSB rig, and various other
old rigs. None of them have been modified in any way, and although
they need some work, I sure am looking forward to firing 'em up and
getting some of that good ol' audio out on the channels again. Now if
I could find (in fairly good condition) my *first* CB rig, and old
International Crystal Executive, 3 channel XMIT (I think) with the
tunable RX... man that thing got HOT!

the audio is! Trying an Electro-Voice 619 on it now. What audio. Thanks for

sold The DAK Mark IX a couple years after that. Now I am trying to resurrect
another Dak IX. All fun radios.:)

That depends. Some models utilized tubes that had a much higher plate
dissipation than the circuits they were used in called for, and with
some playing around with plate voltages you could net quite a few more
watts. But then you had to boost the modulator stage, to keep up with
the increase in carrier power, and once you were done, it was usually
less reliable then it originally was. I have vivid memories of some of
those "hopped up" tube rigs running cherry red plates. Luckily, back
then, Radio Shack had lifetime free replacement tube guarantees.
Tube circuitry had similar limitations as transistors. They just worked
a little differently. Sometimes you could just "swap" out one tube for
another and gain a little, but there was no real "magic" involved. It's
just easier to pull out a tube from a socket, then it was to unsolder a
transistor.

It also had a wide receiver front end you could drive a car through... ie
not much selectivity. Most of those older format CB's were similar... but
when there were 10 people in the entire town on CB, t'was not a problem.

in the RF and 3 in the modulator and a modified 5 tube AM BCB radio for a
receiver. This was 1967. This was absolutely the most fun I have ever had in
radio.
