Well ....I'm glad I stopped by.... thanks for the show....

Complete set of Sams 😢

that is a sweet radio. 👍👍 Would like to see you do more CB repair since Mike quit doing them. I don't know what happen to Mike's CB Repair. 😎💚💙👍👍👏👏👏👏🍺🍺🍻

I simply love all these old radios. My shop has a collection of these. Nice to see another get a new lease on life.

Hey Buddy, good to see you back!

What a Great repair, Your amazing, it sounds completely different.I have so many thing I need repaired, I wish you Lived closer.

I was 13 (now 76) when Dad bought a 23 channel TUBE 'CITI-FONE' from Sears. They told us that this radio is the first 23 channel synthesized CB Radio on the market. All others are crystal units. I was in 8th grade. I grew up in West Phoenix. It would be wonderful if you found one. I would get a kick out of watching you restore it. I can dream, can't I? hahaha. 'Love your show.

Wow, the memories this brings back LOL. We are getting old, Buddy. Thanks for sharing it with us. 73 de K7RMJ Frank

Nice radio. I couldn't believe how nice it cleaned up! Love your videos and thank you for sharing them. I think you should sell this beautiful radio and find it a nice home. 🙂

what a deal! i cant ever find deals like that. great find

Hiya Buddy, thanks for the video. Your video reminds me of when I bought a new Midland 23 channel AM/SSB radio back in the mid-70's that cost $300.00, a lot of money at the time. And yes, Channel 16 LSB was the place to be and at that time Q codes were being used. I think it was around '76 when the 40 channel units came out. The radio that you purchased for $5 turned out well. Midland units were very popular during the CB boom of the 70's. Like the chopstick pointer you're using :). Again, thanks and God bless.

Nice looking radio Buddy. Would make a nice addition to your collection or someone else's. Thanks for the walk down memory lane😃. 73 Joe

Another radio saved from the junk pile! Being in the middle of Cycle 25 that would make a great 10m conversion project. Love those bench cookies! ;-). 73 Dino KLØS

Came across your channel by accident...another GREAT old timey radio tech that knows exactly what he's at! Been repairing radios etc for the last 45 years myself here in Ireland. Looking forward to watching you repair stuff! Great to see another radio tech at work and their methods/test equipment etc and you know what you're doing! I'm working on a few radios right now one of them being a YEASU ZD101 mark 3 with a faulty LED display....the chip used in the display is marked Q12 "YEASU 9520 0Y90" But the proper part number for this chip is MSM9520RS and it seems a common fault for the display going faulty on these radios...I've done one or two in the past with faulty chips but now these chips are obsolete/hard to get but there is a "drop in" PIC micro board with a few mods to the daughter led board that need to be made. any advice/feedback is much appreciated from you/your followers. I've only watched two of your videos so far and looking forward to watching the rest! Keep up the great work/videos and a big thanks from Ireland!

It sometimes just amazes me! A knob off the front is worth the 5 dollar purchase price! There sure were some great radios made back in the day, especially base equipment! Have a viewer drawing!

Nice jewel from the past ! Another great video :)

Just missed one of those in an auction. I have several other 23 channel radios I have converted to 10m with an Arduino or DDS module. Talking a few thousand miles on a converted CB and home brew beam is pretty cool. 73 de K4YKI.

Nice find. You guys find much more interesting old gear over there than we do this side of the pond. Do you have any enthusiastic young guys or girls just getting started in your area? Restoring and aligning this old set would make a fantastic learning exercise for someone like that

You could give it to some kid and spark some interest possibly in electronics.

Those old Midlands are great units.I was going to suggest adding a VFO but you beat me to it. I know you're a ham guy, but I think you should fix it add the vfo and play on cb for a change,
