Midland Handheld CB Radio

There’s a new allure about Radio Shack. And it has nothing to do with Teri Hatcher. Your Pocket Calculator hosts have had the serendipitous timing to cross paths with customers clutching some neat 70s goodies in these stores. As the chain has been pushing its repair service on all brands, folks are dredging up all sorts of vintage electronics looking assistance from their neighborhood Shack. Paul spotted the one on the left in t his photo at a Radio Shack store in Maine. 6 channels, 5 watts and $200 a pair in 1975 bucks! Although they’ll continue service to service them, regrettably, this year (2001) is Radio Shack’s last year of selling CB radios.
