Thrift find
4 Attachment(s)
]New to this forum but wanted to post a few pieces I found at a local thrift. Can anyone tell me what I have here?
Realistic tcr x23 with Astatic D104 mic Realistic Trc 24b with realistic mic A rather large gray Phantom ham/CB tube amplifier ? A/S scanner box:scratch2: I can't seem to rotate the images? |
Interesting finds. The TRC-X23 may be a tube-type CB radio from the late 1960s or early 1970s; the TRC-24B is probably from the mid-1970s up to 1976. The D104 microphone is a classic, still very popular with some hams as well as CBers. The "Phantom" amplifier was built as an illegal CB amplifier, most likely, even though it could have been called a "ham radio" amplifier. (The lack of a band switch is the clue that it was not intended for true ham radio use. Note that my amplifier comments also apply to the "Marko" amplifier in the one picture, too.) The "Super Scanner" box is a controller for a specific CB antenna that could be switched to favor certain directions, if I remember right.

I've never seen such a large amount of tubes in one box and didn't know CB radios came with tubes ( Realistic TRC x23) I did plug it in to test out the Astatic D-104 microphone but no go:no: I couldn't get any power ( Tubes didn't light up). I'm afraid to test the Phantom, Don't know if it's safe to plug in or should I? |
