Junk or is it worth saving
One of my old CB radios I dig out from the junk cupboard with the intention of gutting it and using the housing for a project but before I do I want to make sure that its not anything particularly desirable among the CB collectors.
It did work fine although the potentiometers were very dirty and crackly and I had robbed the crystal from it to repair something else so its missing the crystal but otherwise worked.
Is it junk or worth saving?

The s-meter is fairly desireable.

Keep it as a blunt instrument to fend-off would-be intruders. They'll not come back in a hurry after suffering a Cheiza blunt-force trauma!

You've already robbed the most valuable part from it.
I wouldn't even waste any Servisol on it to clean the pots

There's only one Fidelity 1000! It's a pretender to the throne. Put it in front of a Dalek and exterminate the bugger
Disclaimer, not only are Daleks not real, but I also own a mint, boxed one of these Cheizas myself so I secretly like them

All he has to do is leave it on display in his window. Upon spotting it any potential intruder will immediately feel pity and walk on by!MrWeetabix wrote: β16 May 2021, 21:36 Keep it as a blunt instrument to fend-off would-be intruders.

99p start ebay auction, "sold as seen" is surely the best fate. They become someone else's problem and you get a little bit of cash back :-)

And you must remember that 40 years ago someone thought it was a great (can you see what I did there) idea to wander into a shop and buy this brand new.MrWeetabix wrote: β21 May 2021, 13:36 99p start ebay auction, "sold as seen" is surely the best fate.

Re: Junk or is it worth saving

Nick's a great technician and a credit to TM1. But I wouldn't care to watch him strip for parts!MrWeetabix wrote: β21 May 2021, 20:13 We could donate them all to nick to strip for parts and then have a ceremonial burning of whats left!
