We also have  tube type CB's also.. Being that   were are a  museum that 
archives 'communication' we have some interesting hi lights   from the early 
CB days..  also  there was a 400 mhz  citizens  band too. not  certain if 
that is still there or  not but there was  back in the way back  do  we have 
some examples of that too...

Maybe some of you can help SMECC  with  some other examples we  are looking 
 for ... see links  below that  I found  while  wandering...

*ok  we  would love a early  primitive International  Crystal  cb from  57  
like  this..Also we would like  the two  part 1959  Browning Laboratories 
offering. NOTE! this  was advertised in  QST!

*Enjoyed   my male  radio friends but always   found  the odds of a female

There are regs  but no license. We can see how well that combination has 
worked. Use  common sense and type accepted radios. Your Amateur call is 
not valid  there so don't use it there. Have fun.

I got my CB with a load of other  *crap* and thought to maybe strip it 
for parts. I decided it is too well  made for that. I have snagged 
several solid state CBs over the years and  used parts of them in other 
projects. I also have no aversion to talking  to "most" CBers. The only 
place we can legally talk to them is on the 11  meter band on the CB 
allocated frequencies (or at coffe  shops).
