[Hallicrafters] 40 channel CB on eBay?

[manualman at juno.com]

Hallicrafters (Rockwell) had a number of badged CB and other sets in the
70's (HC-150 & HC-170 2 meter rigs, HCM-260, HC-400, FPM-300 Mark II, and
a few other things). The HCM-261 (40 channel version of the HCM-260) may
not have had type-acceptance to be sold in U. S. stores.
