Who remembers the CB jamboree's at the Charles County Fair grounds (we also went to the ones at Manasas Va.). You could camp over the weekend & there were lots of games and bands.

Fun times

Well the brackets can be custom built. The setup I have now was for my 92 Ram, it had a 318 Magnum in it. I am not sure if the newer motors have the exact same bolt pattern for everything to fit perfect but it would be a simple change. I think I have like $8 or $900 in the brackets and alternators. I'd like to get at least $600 for the set.

Did you ever go to the CB Jamboree's? We used to attend the ones at the Charles county fair grounds and Manasas, Va. Everyone would bring campers and stay all weekend. The funniest thing i remember was they both had a contest for the kids...The dirtiest feet contest.

Hey Guys and Gals,

I got a new web address set up: Dodgem's Internet CB Shack

Stop and visit me sometime, or yell for me on channel 19.

I'm still looking for a group of us to get it together so we can find our own channel around here!

Thanks,

Dodgem

Yeah it can, but, I talk to everybody in Northern Virginia, so, there's plenty of local action for me over here. So, for everyone who has a CB and dosn't use it anymore... Contact me, I'll buy it from you, there are plenty of people in the world looking for tricked radios.

Thanks,

Dodgem

How about some red and yellow units?

I got all colors of the rainbow in this place, and I can do pretty purple for the girls too! Repairs, mods, upgrades, just holler, been doing this for 25 years And I'm always looking for good deals on older model Cobra and Uniden radios...


Thanks!

My dad was KPN8652 The Peanut back in the 70's-80's.

When Crabcake moved south, I helped her load up and move out, she gave me a CB radio that she no longer wanted. Has a magnetic antenna mount (without the antenna) and runs off a cig. lighter plug. I'm taking the kids to Grandma & Grandpa in Georgia in a couple weeks. Gonna have to buy a new antenna for the Crabcake radio and treat the kids to the sounds of the highway heading south.

Boy will that bring back the memories.

Quick question...

Do the magnetic mount antennas take a standard size antenna? I need to replace the antenna on the Crabcake CB.

The Crabcake CB is a Uniden Pro 520XL.

Seems to be a upper-low end radio. Not great, but decent. This is according to the talk I found in forums after a Google of Uniden pro 520XL, this is NOT based on my own opinion since I know nothing about CB radio performance.

Plugged it in tonight. It turned on. This is good.

However, as per my post above, the magentic mount antenna base is missing the actual antenna.

There are no identifying markings on the antenna base, so I have no idea who made it.

Where can I get a replacement antenna that screws onto a 1/4" threaded stud?

Darn, they don't make the K40 in pink.

No, K40 is not an over-achiever in the CB radio antenna business, but, Wilson used to make them all colors of the rainbow. I was at a truck stop in Pennsylvania a few years ago and I almost fell in the floor, they had red, blue, green, yellow, pink, purple, orange, and I think brown. But, I think these days Wilson only makes them in black and white.

But, if all else fails I do have a 36" fiberglass whip brand new in the package that I ordered for some dude and he never came back for it, so, if you need a good cheap antenna, give me a shout. But, if you insist on something in particular I can order one for you, wholesale plus shipping.

I'd hate to post a price here, for gods sake someone might think I was posting a classified ad or something silly and feel the need to ban me or whatever, so, just email me for the price, it'll save me a lot of hassle getting a new IP address so I can come back here with a new user name if someone happens to be PMS'ing today.
