Westward PT2

[cjay]

Just seen one on eBay, a Westward PT2, am I right in my memory that this was a kit CB?

It looks like its been made in someones bedroom
if it's picture is anything to go by

I remember these being advertised in the CB mags of the time
first time I have ever seen one on that auction site though and an authentic piece of cb radio history that is very rare indeed

I can't find an awful lot about them on the web, I do remember them from the pre or early legal days when I think Practical Wireless or one of the other electronics mags reviewed them. The battery pack switch was what jogged my memory.

I seeme to remember it used one of the Motorola PLLs but 30 years...

It was a production radio, not a kit...that was possibly the Ranger 6 you're thinking of. I've got one of these monstrosities. Weighs a ton, has a lead-acid battery inside (will be dead) and is a Maxcom 4e inside

So did anyone on here win the bidding? It wasn't me (got car tax to fork out for this month) and I don't think it was Lambrettadave...

If the winner's on here and doesn't want the leather satchel then let me know as I'd buy that

Not a pretty radio by all means and i wouldnt like have been seen carrying that about in the 80's, Im betting its a Maxon type board in there looking at the Cobra 21/19x knobs and meter, The seller says its AM but with a CB 27/81 stamp on the front ?, Hes going to make about £10 on the postage too £18 with collect+ my butt!.

If you'd have carried that around in the 80's you'd have looked like Arnold Swartzkopftneggerdigger after a few weeks 'cause they weigh a ton with the In-built lead-acid battery! Either that or your shoulder would have had a deep groove in it and you'd have had to try to not walk in circles as it pulled one side of you down by 12inches

I've called my own PT2 an ugly monstrosity on here before now. Anyone who thinks they looks nice is the kinda person who'd find my sister attractive!!!

oh come on, she's not that bad.

"Oh yes she is!" everyone shouts back in a Panto-style way

Have you got a photo of your sister so we can see a compare.

I'd need an SLR camera with an ultra-wide angle lens, and you lot'd need Panoramic-sized screens, let alone wide-screen as for her face....
