I got an old Midland in the garage. It still works but I think the channel selector is drity. I have to giggle it around to get a channel. Is there away to clean it?

@rudedogii - You can go to Radio Shack and buy a can of TV Tuner spray (Catalog #: 64-4315) and open up the radio and spray the tuner while rotating the channel selector to clean the contacts on the channel selector. It not unusual for these older radios to have dirty contacts on not only the channel selector but the other controls as well... Volume, Squelch etc. This spray is safe to use to clean all of these controls.

Hey thanks! I think I'll do that and use it for my base station. I also have a Texas Ranger TR-396F in my Bronco, and I just got a Galaxy DX-959 for my pickup!

Got any mike recommendations?

@rudedogii - I prefer Astatic Microphones like the 636L or the D104M6B... I have also heard good reports from the Turner Road King microphones as well, but I still like using amplified microphones and the Turner's are non-amplified.

Cheers...

HEY...Where's the Browning's the Tram's..And let's not forget the best CB Radio ever made...The ...CPI 2000b with the CPI BC2000 base console.... I seen a few USA made radio's in there but most were just rice boxes ... Handmade USA works of art ...where are they...did these radio refuse to look bad ..so you had to put up the real radio's in order to show these...I understand it's like calling a Honda,Yamaha,Suzuki, a motorcycle when we all know there just bikes....Motorcycle=Harley,Vic­tory..USA

Wonderful collection of 60ties forward CB radios. My first CB was a Mustang crystal maybe 8 ch. Bought it through Lafaette Elect store in Lewis Maine. Couple months later, traded up to the Johnson Mess so I could use it in my Dads 59 Ford. I also used my cousin's comstat 25 more than he did. That was a great rig. had ch 23 A and B plus 100 milli switch that never got used. : ) Great Collection. KOA 1465 Maine The Ford hit a tree, the CB and I survived.

Missing an ECI Courier, Demco Satellite Base Station, and of course the Browning Golden Eagle. Nice collection though. Very nice.
