The Lovely Pace 123A inside and out...
Midland 77-888 Midland 77-200 Midland 77-856 Pace 123A
Переглядів 123 години тому
A quartet of Classic CBs from the 70s. I took delivery today, 02/11/2025. Possibly 2 of the Midland are Uniden made 🤔 the 77-888 is Cybernet built with PLL 02A. The gorgeous Pace is a pathcom made, 23 channel crystal matrix set. Keep your eyes out, I'll be doing an inside and out video of each of them very soon..

I tried a K40 that worked for a time, then swapped it for one of my Astatic 575s. Way better. The next video has the Turner Expander EX500 with good results after an audio report.
CTE International very similar to Stag 357. WKS 1001, Electronica 360, and others.

A radio I got perhaps 2 years or more ago. This is the first time I've tried it out. It's rather good considering it's not been serviced in goodness knows how long?

Johnson 123sj interesting view of it's gubbins.
That’s a friggin gorgeous radio Kev in super genuine condition I’d be made up about that one to mate 👍
@bigsquatchsasfoot1964 you didn't need sideband when you had one of these!!
Like Christmas in your house Kev lol . That 200 M was nice not seen one of those before . I love the last one the channel selector is the same as my old Tiger 40 I absolutely love those . What a great haul mate I’m a bit jealous 😂👍
@bigsquatchsasfoot1964 Thank you. I'm very pleased with them. The 200M is rare, so too are the others these days. Back in the early AM GB days, we tended to get the unwanted leftovers from the States of what wasn't selling. The Pace reminds me too of my Pearce Simpson, it'll end up being a favourite 23 channel...
@ sorry I forgot to say didn’t Pearce and Simpson actually do a 23 channel tiger of some kind ( not sure if that’s what they actually called it ) I’m sure I saw it for sale on the EBay USA a few weeks back i love rigs like that ! Cheers 👍
I got a joint on the go too, but there's no meat in mine ... Happy Stag night.
Hope your not blown out like a lump of concrete.......after all that STEWWWWWWWWwwwwwww good Buddy
@@mick3216 Hahaha, it lasted 3 days the Stew.. Nice
Hi Kevan.... got cha ears on buddy 10-4 ? first I offered you a socket power lead etc for the Bristol looked in the video 10-100 secondly another challenge? are you up for it Boyo..?.....come on
@mick3216 Mick, what's the Challenge????
Hi Kevan have you got in your fantastic collection maybe one of the following radios? REGENCY CR-185 OR A BIG WINDOW SHARP CB-5470 OR A 4370 can you copy America on bare arse power on the big Bertha or your 5/8th possibly with a hand standard mic first and then maybe with a Turner expander 500 best 73s
Good Day🎉
@BEN-HUR_UDX358 likewise my Man..
I'm far more at home using a fist mic. It's not often I'm set up on a desktop or bench to use a base mic comfortably. Even then, I prefer a hand-held.
Nice to see the mic working, though personally, I much prefer a good old coffin mic. I did have a base mic once, I think it came with a rig, and I did use it for a while, but sold it on.
DOING WELL MATE ...KEEP SENDING YOU SIGNAL UP MATE.. CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO BAY USA 2RG0320 WAVING 👋👋👋👋👋
Thanks for your great comment, mate. Romeo Golf? Im RG205 on the rosta. I'm listening for you.. 73
Good contact 73 from Colima México
@@DXRadio695 Thank you. 73 from Wales GB....
👍🏻👍🏻love my cobra 148gtl!Nice set up,73👋🏻👋🏻
@Hillclimber-730VT Many thanks Man, I appreciate your comment..cheers.
That’s a busy looking radio Kev and the orange is unusual I like it working nicely to 👍
I like the look of the CTE range of CB gear. This is working really well considering it's not had any work done to it. Thank you for commenting mate...
Nice base mate
Thanks, it works well...
That’s a real gorgeous looking radio Kev a real work of art 👍
I love it mate, I have the Cobra version too, same radio but badged up Cobra 50XLR. I have the Cobra 47XLR, too which is AM/FM radio with 40 CB channels too! I've got another Midland coming in soon. It's very rare. Something I've never seen before! It's a 77-899. Thanks for your comment...
How about that challenge and offer.....come on 😃 boyo
I must have missed that, Mick?
Looks real nice
I'm very pleased with it. Thanks for commenting.
I was pissing myself watching this kev , I’m in bed with my headphones on and the misses was looking at me oddly asking what I’m laughing at I said oh nothing but I know of a good reason to use that base mic I got now 😂😂
@bigsquatchsasfoot1964 I have only a few base mics, I just rarely bother using them. Im made up you found a good reason for base mic use.... hahaha. Good ole Cliff.
Yeah I stay on as long as I can, as I’m a Mud Duck haha But I’ve had some of my best contacts near the end of the day or night.😉
@gordonlowe8473 early morning and late evening it's a certain thing. On low power
That is one Fine Looking Realistic Radio there Kevan absolutely Beautiful! I won an auction late last year for a bulk lot of radios and microphones and After watching this I went to the box that had about 16 microphones in it and one of them was exactly the same as this Realistic mic has the same RS Logo in the middle and is a 5 pin end So not sure what model it’s off though? But that’s good to know. I’ll have to clean it up and use it sometime to See what it sounds like.👍
Gordy, they are a champion mic radio shack was an amazing experience x Id be amazed and pleased to get a live copy with you soon mate ...
Yeah, that would make my day too Kevan! But lately All I’ve been getting skip from is America and Hawaii I haven’t really been getting even Australia which is odd But Hope to hear some United Kingdom would be great.👍
@@gordonlowe8473we get plenty of Americans just now. It's fantastic to talk with them. Plenty of strong Australian stations yesterday late morning, but still waiting on some action from New Zealand! It will happen soon I'm sure. I check Cluster DX from time to time, to see if anyone from there is making it across to European countries, but very little happening just yet!
Nice Radio
@@sommerkamp7780 Top of the range 👌
UDX-362 tn thanks for video gate.
@@Foxman362worldradio it's a pleasure to listen. Good DX . I'll listen out for you.
Beautiful wee rig 🇬🇧🏴
Nice one is that a wee superstar from back in the day ??
@ItsRael108 This is a CB Master 3600. It's a Cybernet made rig..
Thanks putting me on your videogate UDX-362 over Tennessee.
@Foxman362worldradio it's a pleasure. I love the 139, someone did a very good job on that conversion... talks better than any modern radio...
I always look at it as this old stuff is very limited to find ! the nice old stuff is even harder er to find so it’s worth as much as your prepared to part with in my opinion be that £10 or £1000 if you want it and prepared to pay it it’s worth every penny mate ..that’s a little cracker sounds great and looks wonderful 👍 I like the drifters to ..cool 😂
Ive got a little realistic Trc 474 Nos sitting in the box , im going to connect it up in the morning and see who i can hit , i love the microphone on it same as that one . Ive messagd you back about the 707 Kevan 😁
@williamn01 have you any pics the 474?
@kevanLloyd7135 Yes I could take some for you , how would I send you them tho 🤔
I can take some , not sure how I would get them to you tho @@kevanLloyd7135
@williamn01 WhatsApp or Facebook, maybe 🤔 +447435589979 kevan Lloyd for Facebook..
@williamn01 this style mic are good to hold, and they work very well. I've got the Realistic power mic somewhere? I'll try and find the thing today... I like the TRC-474. Nice fairylights.
I have one those only with an analog meter. It still works though with only 2.5 to 3 watts output. Never been repaired but the lamp is busted.
@franciscolopez3229 Sadly this one is completely dead just now. It's very possible it's had 110v mains put through it ....
That radio I’ve not heard of. And I thought I heard or seen them all, looks very similar to a lot of radios but not the name: work well. Most things do in your house nice. Hope you are feeling better. Alan.💯🇬🇧👍
@alanslade2319 Hey Alan, thanks for the well wishes mate. They aren't a bad basic radio. A lot can be done to them too. They are Cybernet and as you say. There are very similar radios to then, just with a different name on.. Cheers for dropping the comment.
Bad throat through too much talking. Haha, 10-4 bad buddy!
@jontaylor1652 😆😆😆😆 Over 10 days , time to try catching 😁
Your right that Board for its age is bloody clean mate Good score.
@gordonlowe8473 it's really clean. But as I've just mentioned, it's looking like it's had 110v mains put through it sadly.
Did wonder where you was Kevan.....thought you wasn't reading your comments boyo
@mick3216 hi Mick, nearly back on form now.. I have a bit of catching up to do...lol
There’s some Genius designs in some of these old radios Kev there bloody beautiful mate 👍
@@bigsquatchsasfoot1964 I can spend hours admiring the insides. It's fantastic to see the technology of the day in such great condition in many of the old sets..
But still it is very nice radio I like it
@JustinPartridge-v3f Yes, i find it very pleasing to use.
Kevan do you have any of these left ?
@@williamn01 I have around 10 or so atm.
@kevanLloyd7135 No worries Kevan I will give you a WhatsApp ok and will send some pictures to you aswell .
Nice looking radio. Is that "new old stock" like the other 3600's I've seen popping up on ebay?
@@themaryjayneexperience5427 Yes, this is from that same batch of radios. They were never NOS, but the majority of them in excellent cosmetic condition, many had and still have faults. They were all destined to be returned to Cybernet under warranty repair, but Gammond Stereo. The Swiss company who were selling them went out of business. A container sat for many years full of them. They finally resurfaced a couple of years ago. They are good radios, but certainly not new old stock...
@@kevanLloyd7135 Now I know their full story. Thanks for educating me mate, it's much appreciated.
@themaryjayneexperience5427 it's pretty accurate mate, i work with romanian guys, and they spoke at length with the guy who bought the container from Switzerland. I was wve told what he paid, and what he was initially going to sell it on for lol. He's so glad he didn't
Lovely rig. Working great Kev 👍
@bigsquatchsasfoot1964 cheers mate 👍...
The Trouble is No one talks on the CB any more. Maybe truckers that's about it. Wish it would come back. I've got a Washington base station . Fully Packed. Uppers Lowers And side band And a few more. and A Linear that puts out 1,000 watts. tube type. I've talk just about all over the world , Back in the day.
@FredMoore-x1s get it fired up again Fred, it's never going to be the way it used to be back then, but there's still some great stations out there around the world. A great little base, them Washingtons, I have a couple of them. What's the Tube amps you have there? I often use them.. Nice comment, 😊 thanks.
Ah yes, we're in there now r'kid. The CB - Marrrrster!
@jontaylor1652 Hahaha that's brilliant 👏
Esse é o primo do Royce 639 CB
@@IsraelKaczynskiTheodore Não, isso é muito diferente meu amigo... Cybernet
A thing of beauty.
What a great channel you have, thanks for sharing your fine collection, you are of my generation, heard you mention you got ur first cb in 1977 that would of been the old am days.. that makes Craig I've never heard of, it sure sounds good
@ItsRael108 hi, thanks for your comments. The Craig were a good American company. They produced some great radios . The L232 is a Uniden built set, very much like the Stalker XX base, and the Land Command LCBS-8. My first rig was a Sharp little window, model CB-2460
Hi Kevan that Craig is a Beautiful Base and I Love the Look of that Cobra with its Big VU meter and the Little T Bear is a Nice old unit. P.S I worked my first international station tonight from New Zealand into Hawaii on my Little barefoot 1977 Midland 23 channel made my day, my mate said you’ll be pushing shit uphill to get a contact overseas on only 4 watts but I did it, so stuff them!😉😁
@gordonlowe8473 Wow, brilliant Gordy. That's a good contact to make, and on the little 23 channel, too! The Cobra works really well, but it is not a radio I go mad about. I must get the Bases set up again very soon. As you'll see, I've made a start with a Realistic TRC-490. I hope you make some more contacts very soon, mate..
Thats some impressive radio stack my man ! That Craig is a gorgeous looking radio Kev love it , I have a thing for the home base radios they always look quite impressive . I have a mk1 Ham international jumbo rigged up at the moment 👍
You always make the trip. You have a lot of lovely radios there. Take care of yourself and I’ll see you and I’ll hear you soon on the radio.take care my friend Alan 73s., we’re on the side.🏴🇬🇧💯👍
@alanslade2319 Thanks Alan. I love the Radios, they amazed me how well they still work after many years..
That radio sounds great,
@themaryjayneexperience5427 it got to be my favourite all time base station radio. It's got massive audio.
You have some great radios there. Just one thing I would never have a CB with Amp’s built into them, amplifiers are meant to be one of the last thing before the antenna.all these new wigs that push out power as well. It’s just a matter of time before they won’t work. Not saying that you don’t know what you’re doing because I already know that you know what you’re talking about and doing, but all these new rigs will not last long with most people.anyway sorry for the big story still love you’re radios and thanks for letting us see them. Alan CT48/70. Saying 73s were on the side.🏴🇬🇧👍
@alanslade2319 Alan, you're absolutely bang on what you're saying, mate. This old stuff is running low power into half decent amps that stand the test of time Blow the finals in a high power radio. you're out of action, unlessyou mighthave anothercoupleof hundred sets laying around the place?.. not everyone has. Best let the amp do the hard work.. It's like having a different and barking yourself. I run low radio watts, and get good barefoot contacts, but when called for, I have the capability to run a 2 pill. And also it can drive a selection of tube amps i have. So final word is, your antenna is your best friend.. Nice comment, cheers Alan 🍻
Brilliant again thanks kevan.
@seanphillis5772 cheers man.
