Cool

Made "for" Kmart more likely. If it only has 23 ch. that would be older that the 40 ch rigs. look at the "fine" print If it has instructions there should be a print date on them. Does it work?

tho it looks older, it is from around 1982.

my dad used to collect cb's. he had one just like it. they all looked new cause they were marketed as emergency use cb's, so they never got used.

good score.

there are collectors out there that collect old cb radios.
i would guess the value to be somewhere in the range of 50 - 100 bux.
not very sought after, however, a cool relic non the less.
