Some super nice walkie talkies. I like the old AM handhelds the most.

Maravillosa colección vintage! Tuve el segundo (Trans Talk) en 1978 y fue mi primer CB! Saludos desde Argentina! Muy buen aporte!

Very cool video I live in Arizona in the states they do have one Sears in my county very few in the states out here. I collect a lot of vintage 1960s walkie-talkies 100 mw I try to fix them and recap them. I look forward to seeing your restorations on the new ones you have. I am still learning electronics so watching your channel I get a lot out of it as far as trying to learn I enjoy watching

Thank you

Used to love Tandy, the glass case with the radios, the smell of plastic. :) lovely little sets here, love the nostalgic radio vibe.

Looking forward to seeing the inside of the 9 transistor transceiver. I don't expect too much as far as performance goes, but you never know!

The CHiPs radios ! Never, ever seen them before. Wow, they’re dated 1981 so the marketing team must have been on-the-ball to get them on the shelves for Nov ‘81. The three channel Sears might have been sold under the Philips badge in the UK. Possibly spec’d as 500mW (but more likely the usual 100mW.). Such wonderful nostalgia. I’ll be watching this video over and over again. Thank you for a journey back to my childhood.

As a young teenager in the 60s, I well remember those "Eagle Products" leather-cased walkie talkies in the shop window of our local TV-Radio store in the UK. Priced around £20 in the mid 1960s with a claimed range of 1-5 miles (superhet Rx with RF preamp, 100mW Tx). Sadly well, well beyond pocket money/Xmas present price range...😞!

Cool video

With your 4 transistors you are spoiling us ambassador.

8:45 because it doesn't detach easily when you need to use it

The shit we had to put up with in those days

[@VicGreenBitcoin]

My first LPD was a pair of Yellow Kenwood UBZ something... Got them the first day LPD was legal. I still remember they had excellent receiver quality. After that I had some Panasonic PMR`s looked like a phone a bit, nice but not so good as the Kenwoods...

[@VicGreenBitcoin]

correction that was LPD not PMR

Even gets a Red hang gang clip at the end.The girl died. Looked then all up when found on a web iste. Most but not all episodes. You got the Blueray, mentioned before?. Nice radios. Never practicle the long daft antennas as need for lower frequency stuff now, Handheld CB unless the not so good rubber duck. Back in the day ot was all long antenna, nicer with the UHF, VHF stuff now for usefulness walking around and kids games. PMR, FRS sets. Had the blue motorolas as mentioned already and before.

Hi Knoxieman, I just came across your KZbin channel and was wondering if you also sell walkie talkies? If so, I'd love to hear from you. I'm looking for a pair of good working walkie talkies that can reach a distance of about 30 - 100 meters. And around the era between 1975 - 1980. Thanks in advance.

[@knoxieman]

Hi, thanks for the kind words, I occasionally sell the odd radio but I'm more of a collector these days 👍

[@rocker89]

@@knoxieman Thank you for your response😃 If you ever have a set of duplicates in your collection or one of your customers want to sell , Drop me a line. Well-functioning walkie-talkies between 1975-1980, and I am very interested. And keep up the good work! I love the restoration videos👍👍

[@DanielGlover]

Nice radios. I liked the Chips TV program, wife thinks she seen on the TV guide, one of the cheaper freeview/ satalitte channels. running in UK somewhere. 7 minutes, The blue motorola. I got 2, in my radio profile linked in banner photo. So 1996. Thought they where later, the first generation. Me a bit late to it then as had later 1999. Remember at a college job and got when there, Used their internet thingy to do. So much faster than mine down the phone line and it cost. Not in the library at college or the resources area we where at. Mostly booklet and photocopier monkey. I did 3.5 months and left. The video footage you, your tape from the time, guess so. The bike needs a front wheel. Had front suspension mountain bike, 26 inch wheels in 1996. Got the odd bike ride in a playlist. Still at it but full suspension electric one now. Those little walkie talkies, rubbish, seen a video on it. good for not 20 feet and no volume. Efficient batteries for a walkie talkie, button cells!. I think one of those radios got a dodgy name this day and age, you said something cryptic, maybe thinking what I am. Now to carry on. edit 8:57 Finmere, done that some years ago as wanted to see, Horrible disgusing toilets. Eurosonic. That the 10-4, 2 channel CB ones. 250mw 1987

[@knoxieman]

Amazing 😍

The older 7 transistor model with the screw-in antenna was also sold under the Westinghouse, and Claricon brands if I recall correctly. So many radios had the same innards with different exterior cosmetics it was hard to keep track of them all. In the very early 60's some early 100mw walkie-talkies were selling for around $100 U.S. (which was quite a bit of change back then)... Sears. They may have 20 downsized stores still left to close, but it's been a downward spiral for them since the early 2000's. When it came to their CB radios, for the most part they picked quality manufacturers and had a good team of designers that created a look that, at a glance, you could tell it was a Sears unit. In the larger CB's sold with 40 channels their line of "Slant Face" radios were tops, manufactured by Hitachi (just like the CB's sold by JC Penneys, only Sears had a slight edge on the exterior design, IMO). It's amazine how many of the slant face am-ssb models are still active, and being sold on eBay - with quite of few of the still NOS. While not as small as some mobile radios and not as large as a standard base unit, these would function as both. You could apply 12v DC in the auto, or plug it into the AC outlet (built-in power supplies)...Now, back to the walkie-talkie topic. Everyone and anyone who sold CB radios also had a line of walkie-talkies. At the age of 9 or 10 I recall really wanting an Archer {Space Patrol) sold by Radio Shack/Allied/Tandy, but I was a bit disappointed when I unwrapped a pair of Juliette 100mw handhelds. They were actually better (2 channels vs. 1 and a squelch control), but on the outside - nowhere near as cool as the Spack Patrol models. Thanks for another memory stimulating video, I enjoyed it quite a bit 👍
