Binatone 5 Star

Post by bigj5555 »

Another from the growing collection lads..
Been after a mint one of these for yrs, but all i could find were bangers, for stupid ass money.
This one turned up out the blue, and had to have it regardless..Yeh i over payed, just to get the guy to sell the dam thing !

Stunning, as new cond, with not a bit of paint, silver surround, or lettering marked...
Def keeper.

Will show the other radios later lads....PS, if this is the wrong place on forum so show these radios, please tell me....

She's a beaut.

For some reason though, as I start to scroll down the pic's, everything freezes and I have to use the back button. I managed to reply by scrolling down so fast to the bottom, that the pictures didnt have time to show ;) Maybe my phone's due for an upgrade lol?

hi bud..
just seen you other post on the adams...
Checked this post on another 2 desktop browsers, and all fine...
BUT, as said in other post, these are really large PNG files, so your phone may not be liking the large size, and spitting the dummy lol

Lovely Radio... Great to see one in such nice condition...

The 5 Star was my first ever legal CB Radio... Bought it for £25 down Brick Lane Market East London.. Good memories..

Enjoy...;-)
