For all you vintage CB collectors (like Me)...

A brand new in the box never used still sealed in the original plastic
bag 1975 Royce 1-612 23 channel mobile CB gets opened for the first
time! It even smells new!

I left the pictures big, so you could see all the details! Modem users
may have to wait awhile for all the pictures to load.

Enjoy!

I did not have the heart to take it out of the plastic after all these
years. It is still sealed in the original plastic bag right now, and
back in the box.


Damn. That is an ancient golden oldie.
I haven't seen a vertical meter in ages.
If I'm not mistaken, the "gyro-lock" referred to the style of the mounting
bracket.
Seems to me like the company was in business only a few years and went
under.

What is Gyro lock? Does that mean you can get it at one of those
Greek sandwich stands? ;-)

That is cool, though.

Vinnie S.

Need backlava (sp) for a counterpoise.

Should have my rig running in a about a week. First, I have to run a
conduit to my attic from my basement.

Why do you need conduit?

To make it easier in case I ever run other cable if I go to ham. If this
was a one-time thing, I wouldn't run it.

What diameter are you running? (plastic?)


Yeah. 1". I am running it in a closet wall. Remember, I live in a ranch, so it's
only an 8 foot run.

One would assume it would be to run power.

Why would one assume that? Can you assume something else for once?

But that's just a guess...

And a bad one. I don't see how intalling a plastic 8' conduit can be associated
with power. Let me ask you a question.

If I run 9913 or LMR-400 inside a PVC conduit, increase my ability to run power?
Is that type cable physically transformed into a high power cable, if I run it
in a 1" pvc conduit?

Seriouly, if I were to go take a ****, someone on this group would associate it
with me wanting running power.

FYI, I am going to run barefoot. By choice. By my choice. Not by choice and -pro
or anti power people on this group. If you can't believe that, that is you
problem. When I get setup, I will gladly pose pictures.

It'a amazing how many of these you can find. Yet I go to an occasional estate
sale or garage sale, and have never seen even a broken CB.

Where do they find this ****? It's near mint. He might get $150 for this.

"Gyro Lock" was Royce's trademark name for a PLL synthesizer.

Most are in bad-good condition. To get one in VG or near mint, would fetch
upwards of $200. This guy having the box, will help.
