I still have my realistic handheld. And it still works.
Boy those commercials sure bring back memories. Thanks for posting them.
You're welcome R C .... I'm glad you liked them , that's why I shared them . I was hoping others would appreciate them like I did .
These videos sure were kinda like a sentimental journey. That era was really something special. I probably owe myself the base station And mobile set up I could never convince my Dad we needed to have.
Thanks John , I'm glad you enjoyed the video . I thought it would be fun to compilate all the old CB radio commercials that I could find , together into one video and share it with others . Thanks for hanging out here at the Ranch with us.
@@RaccoonsRadioRanch Just thinking back to the wild an wooly days of being absolutely fascinated by CB radio in the early 70s. Monkey Ward catalog had a "fall open to" page with a Midland Base Station I had drooled over a hundred times. Yeah, I owe myself one.
@@johnnorman7708 I was on the CB back then too , but I was just a kid back then . I remember all the hype , and I still love that old equipment . I have a few old timer radios around here that I still like to fire up and use from time to time .
I dont know where you found those old clips, but I'm sure glad you did. Thanks for another awesome video!
Thanks Triple 7's
Thanks for sharing this wonderful look back at happier times .
You're welcome Anthony . I'm glad you enjoyed it . Thanks for hanging out here at the ranch , and for watching the video.
The good ol' days before mobile phones and computers. I still have my old CPI 400 radio, and it still works!😆
I recently got a CPI CP - 2000 ... I'll probably show it in an upcoming video .
I have a midland 13-877 23 channel base that I got in about 1971, and it still works. Thanks for the great video.
That's cool old junkman ... you're welcome , and thank you for hanging out here at the Ranch with us .
Still have all my realistic CB radios and they still work great!
Realistic made a lot of good equipment over the years .
I have the same Realistic TRC-427 in the second Charles Napier commercial. I found out it's basically a Cobra 25 inside.
Not surprised at all . Realistic had Uniden making a lot of equipment for them over the years .
That was awesome. Thanks for sharing. 10/4.
Thanks Andy , I'm glad you liked it . Thanks for watching the video .
In the mid 80’s I had a Realistic that I put in a ‘73 bug and then later a ‘77 Mustang II. It was what we know to be a Cobra 29 LTD Classic. I’ve misplaced it during a move and haven’t located it. So now I’m sporting the Cobra.
I know that feeling Lando . I had an old Royce 1-682 that was my "Go-To Radio" for the mobile ... and I somehow misplaced it as well when I moved a few years ago too . I have no idea where it went to , and I haven't seen it again since before the move . I know I wouldn't have sold it or gave it away . Because that was a highly dependable radio for my mobile . I'm still looking for it .... lol
My Lafayette cb radio broke down where can I take it in lol just kidding. Nice videos
I thought something like that too ... lol . There are people out there that are still driving cars that they bought new back in the 70s . Did their cars outlast their radio ? .... lol
@@RaccoonsRadioRanch Chances to find one with Lafayette radio would be in the Thunderbirds, continental and Impalas, capris. luxury cars.
can be fixed
I don’t remember any of these commercials showing in SoCal back then. Wild!!
Anybody remember the Ducks of the CJ's in LA in the mid 80's?
I didn't remember any of them to be honest . But they're definitely cool to watch .
Never knew Cobra made a pocket AM transistor radio. Bet they are rare to find.
I said that exact same thing when I first saw that commercial ... lol.
Don't remember any of the commercials, but I had a few
of the radios. The TRC-55 , the HB740 and Royce.
Hi there Mr Lugnuts . I don't remember any of these commercials either . But they're great to watch . I had that Royce too . In fact it was always my go-to radio to use in the mobile for years . But sadly it came up missing when I moved, and I haven't seen it since . Now my go-to radio for the mobile is my RCA Co-Pilot 14T302 . Thanks for watching the video , and for hanging out here at the Ranch .
Dudes, that’s Charles Napier (2:25) of the Good Ol’Boys and “Lon-dawn-enga-lan” fame! Seriously, he was awesome, he had the coolest voice.
It definitely is , I've been a fan of Charles Napier since I was a kid . I tried to find more CB radio commercials with him in them , but these were all I could find .
My first was a Navajo TRC 30a. My latest is the radio I really wanted mint with the plastic still around the radio JC Penney pinto ssb 23 channel I am elated Ii felt like 1974 when I first saw it in the catalog it's my favorite amongst the rest I have 7 at 59 year's old in Miami 🍊and my Navajo still is in excellent condition works great 👍
Nerone , I also have quite a few radios ... and my favorite ones are my Pearce Simpson Bengal , my Lafayette Comstat 23 , and my RCA Co-Pilot 14T302 . One is from 1965 , and two of them are from 1975 ... and they're all working great . They really knew how to make a good radio back in the day . I often wonder if we'll be saying the same thing about this surface mount equipment 40/50 years from now .
Neat to see commercials like this, I really didn't know they existed. They call me "BlueStreak" or 383 when they aren't mad at me!! 73's and thanks for posting.
I'm glad you liked the video , that's why I made it . To share these commercials with others (besides myself) that weren't aware of them . Or to help those that did know about them take a brief trip back in time . Thanks for hanging out here at the Ranch with us , I hang out on Ch 12 with my friends , and my handle is Raccoon . So if you hear skip rolling in from the North East , go to 12 and listen for us .
Very nice, nostalgic video ! I love CB radios. Here in Brazil , it was very expensive in the past. Thanks for share it ! 73
You're welcome Rafael , and thank you for hanging out here at Raccoon's Radio Ranch, I appreciate it .
Cobra 29 might be the only product in existence that maintained nearly the same price for almost 50 straight years.
100% right
There is another Radio Shack commercial that featured the late Charles Napier that shows him driving a 1977 GMC pickup truck talking on his Realistic CB radio to another CBer, bragging on the great deal he got. An' that's a big tain fer thar drivah, an' we gone bye buh buh bye bye byeeee.
I tried to find it , but the only ones I keep finding are the ones in this video.
Charles Napier, hell yeah!
I like Charles Napier , I just saw him in an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard last night . He use to pop up all over the place back then . He was also in the movie "Citizens Band" back in the day too.
Fantastic
Thanks curtschannel , I'm glad you liked it , and thanks for watching .
Ch 9 hasn't been the emergency channel in years. Maybe a couple of decades.
Ahhhh the memories of the 70's
I miss the 70s , and the 80s .... almost daily . It was a much better time .
Awesome video.
I was a Midland guy back in the day but RadioShack really had some great radios.
73's
514 Ontario Canada
Thanks , I like Midland radios too .... I just didn't find any Midland commercials . These are all I could find.
I remember many kids' radios running on CB radio frequencies like channel 14 and 9. They ran on a 9volt battery and had about 500milliwatts of power. One of the big name ones was a GI Joe radio and one no-name brand came with those green plastic soldiers. There was also one for police and another for firemen play.
I had some of those toys when I was a kid . I would get them at Christmas time . I think my parents would get them for me because I was interested in their CB Radio ... lol
Wow... CB's back then cost what they cost TODAY- But $99 then was a LOT of money!!
Spending $99 on a radio in 1975 is equal to spending $530 on a radio now days .
Still using my Realistic radios 2 mobile and one handheld. TRC-205, TRC-422, TRC-424, started out in 1973 with a Sears Roadmaster 23 channel.. Old C.B. licence KBAR-3416)
I love old CB radios . I have quite a few that I like to fire up and use . Ranging from Lafayette to Pearce-Simpson , Presidents & Cobras . I especially like the old tube radios , and 23 channel stuff . That's why I hang out on Ch. 12 , so I can use my older equipment .
Somebody keyed up on their CB during that commercial and scrambled the picture
I had a friend sitting outside my house one night years ago , that keyed up his CB radio as he was pulling away from my house ... and scrambled my TV screen just like that commercial ... lol
Thanks for watching the video Robert .
Great video
Thanks Banana . I'm glad you enjoyed it
I still have my President Jackson.
I know someone that has one , they're a good radio.
That second ad was made at Cobra Kai!

Thank you , I'm glad you liked it . Thanks for watching the video .

Thanks Mind Blast . All the best from the USA as well .
Nice!!
Thanks Ecio , I'm glad you liked it . Thanks for watching the video , and for hanging out here at the Ranch with us .
OMG I have been on CB since 1969. I started out with a 3 watt 5 channel Allied walkie talkie by Radio Shack. This was before they renamed it realistic. It kicked ass. I lived in NYC and had a 16 story building a block away from my 7 story building. I used to go up to the roof and that thing was booming. I found out most of the locals hung out on Ch 15 so i had to buy a crystal for it In later year it proved handy tracking some of the local idiots. I was getting out better than some base stations back then and the band wasn't as noisy either. I doubt I would be able to get out up to 20 miles with that radio on that same roof today.
As far as the TV commercials go I honestly don't remember them I remember the radios from Lafyette and Radio Shack. Most if not all the RS radios were made by Cobra/Dyanscan and in later years Uniden. My first real radio was a Sonar FS 23. It was the first 23 channel radio they made. It was big and bulky and a tube radio. Two years later they came out with the FS 23-40 40 channel radio. They were not cheap and hand built. Right now i have a Cobra 148 GTL modified but not sure if it still works and i have a Magnum Delta Force that works but all the back lights are blown out and they are no longer and i can't find any places that work on them. I recently got a President Lincoln II+ from Walcott and running a Little Will till I get a Wilson 1000. Yup 52 years of CB Radio. I may get a Ticket so i can legally work the 10M band :)
In 1969 I was 1 year old ... lol
I got my start on the CB around 1978 ... I was 10 years old and I used my parents CB radio to talk with the locals . I stayed active on the CB until 1985 , when I was 17 . We moved out to the country and I couldn't make it back to town very well because of all the hills that were between us and the CB'ers in town . I got married a few years later in 1989 , moved back to town , and eventually got back on in 1994 , and I've been on since . I like it as much now , as I did then ... maybe more . I do have some older CB radios that I like to use from time to time . I have an old Lafayette Comstat 23 , and a Kris 23 + ... as well as some Pearce Simpson's , Presidents & Cobras too . Thanks for rekindling my memories of back when I first got on the CB Michael , that's always a fun trip .
@@RaccoonsRadioRanch OH YEAH going back that far shook some cobwebs out of my head. I lived in Brooklyn NY and we had a group that ran Ch 15. My freind Artie may he RIP used to have a Browning Golden Eagle with a D-104 Lollypop power mic but he mostly used an EF Johnson 500 ham transmitter and Halicrafters SX 101 receiver. His antenna was on top of a 7 story apartment building and the line of site he had was incredible. It would dead key about 1-2 watts and when you talked it pushed about 400 with pure audio. It wasn't the audio you get when you're driving a linear. This was pure and he could be heard on just more than c b radios. Toasters intercoms telephones as well as Ch 2 and 5 on TV sets. Those were the fun days.
@@michaelrocker9000 I've had people like that here in the area where I live over the years too ... and I've also lost quite a few CB'er friends in that time period too ... that's never easy . But I do definitely love that older radio equipment .
@@RaccoonsRadioRanch I knew someone back then who got busted by the FCC. He was running an Yeasu FT 101 on 11 M but they got him for running on the amature bands without a license. Most of the people that knew him found it had to believe. He was an apartment dweller and lived on the 13th floor of a 20 story building. He mounted a Shakespeare Big Stick on the terrace. He was also a pain in the but getting in fights with everyone.
@@michaelrocker9000 yes I remember Artie, i’m from Brooklyn also, I remember those days
👍👍🍻73s 102 NY Finger lakes area
I know that area well Jeff
My dad was on channel 40 before most people
Nice , I can't say the same for myself since I was just a kid when they first added channels 24 - 40 ... lol
Wasn’t my mess rambo I’m just picking up the pieces
They should have sold those radio's with one of those cool leather jackets everyone was wearing. They seem to be the in thing at the time. lol
I was just a kid back then ogoshen , but if they want to toss me one of those leather jackets now I wouldn't say no ... lol
Thanks for watching the video .
Rodger Wilco good Buddy!

Most Realistic cbs are Uniden.
I think I mentioned that in one of my comments somewhere before . Realistic , President and Cobra all had radios being made for them by Uniden .
CB was great in the 1960's. It got ruined in the 1970's and by the 1980's all you hear was profanity and interference. Today, it is worthless
Since I wasn't born until 1968 , I have no idea what CB was like in the 1960's . But I started getting into CB in 1978 when I was 10 years old . I took a break from CB in the 80's to chase girls ... so I don't know about the 80's ... lol . But I know that in the 90's and the early 2000's there was quite a bit of profanity.
I think the amount of profanity depends on the area you live in ... because where I live , the profanity has toned down quite a bit over the past few years .
Hy Gain junk, lmao.
I've been on the radio for over 40 years , and I've never owned anything made by Hy-gain ... so I honestly I don't know if they were any good or not . But lets be honest , they were building remote radios at least 30 years before anyone else , and that's cool ... so that radio got added to the video .
