Can I save this Uniden Washington Base CB

I'm awaiting my latest eBay purchase. It's a vintage Uniden Washington SSB CB base station. It looks a little rough, but I believe it cad be saved.

Cool project. Best of luck. Keep us posted. Thanks.

Yes this will make a good series and I certainly hope you did not get burned.

Good luck Ridge - quite a gamble!

I agree, but worst case scenario, I will have spare parts when I buy another one. 73s!

Looking forward to hear how this goes.

Nice radio... Good choice...

Looking forward to seeing the finished work. My buddy Popcorn does all of his videos with same base.

I've always wanted one of these radios. I like project radios. At least this one looks like it has a decent face plate.

You never know what is in the case till you crack it open. Some of the worst looking radios I've fooled with cleaned up well and worked, while some others. good looking, were hacked on and really messed up by the previous owners. If this radio hasn't been cobbled up by hackers you have a good shot at repairing it. KR66 James

It was a mess when I received it. Minimal protection for shipping, and it arrived with a bent power/volume knob that broke off. When I opened the case, it was a rusty mess. Luckly, the water did not reach the electronics for the most part. I was able to get it running and was surprised that everything worked well. It's spot on frequency and I'm getting great reports, go figure! I'm putting a video together I hope to have out this weekend. Thanks for watching!
