Panasonic AM/FM Radio/CB

Post by ta TACO »

SO I went to Ft. Hood to do some training for a couple of days. While there I ran into some electrical issues. A guy at Autozone told me he knew a guy who had a 68 F100 in his small wrecking yard, I might be able to get what I need from him. So I went to look at it. It was actually a 72' F100, no biggie. While I was looking for the part I needed, and figured out I didn't need it, thanks to Formermarine81's help, I did find some other things I needed. A radio face plate and a radio and a windshield washer bottle. The radio is this Panisonic radio with a built in CB. This thing is pretty neat. Not sure if it works, but I took it anyways. Does any know if this thing is worth the trouble to mess with or should I just junk it? I only paid $20 for everything so I'm not going to be upset if it's worthless.

8), I've seen them a few times never used one but if you run an antenna to it and can transmit and the AM/FM works as well that would be pretty sweet. I really liked the AM/FM/CB's Pontiac put in some of the T/As too:

The factory ford one dad had in his 79 lincoln was the coolest one I have seen and worked great. I often thought about installing one in something but never found one to use. There were lots of part to them though.

I think I will hook it up so I can listen to my talk radio. The one I got has the hand mic port in the front for easy removal. I hope it works.
