New talkies

Ran across some "new" oldies to try out.  All Radio Shack /Realistic

TRC-216 - A lot like the TRC-212, but smaller and more plastic

TRC-217 - There are a zillion of these on Ebay.  Basic radio.

TRC-221 - I LIKE this radio...mainly because it has a signal strength meter.

Haven't really had time to try them all out much or get any pics...

Transphonic CB

Back in about 1977 I had a Transphonic brand CB that my dad got as a premium for opening a CD account at a bank....

I think I still have it and it's in BAD shape....

Anyway...anyone ever heard of that brand or have one?

It looked a lot like a Teaberry...T Charlie One: Shown below...swiped from ebay.. same color woodgrain, same channel knob and same meter.
