Good lord! That was trip down memory lane for me. Back in the late 80's and into the 90's we had several of those places to wander around in the Raleigh area. I was always swinging by to check out the latest radio or have my cheap ones tuned up. This is a gold mine for sure and you are one lucky guy to live so close. I hope whoever ends up buying the place will continue to operate it. I suddenly feel like I need to make a road trip!

it really is like stepping back in time, The store is well stocked, has a great staff and good prices. If You ever decide to take the trip, remember You are always welcome here. it would be awesome if You and Dallas made the trip. The 3 of us could probably have a days long conversation. Take care Erik, and thanks for the comment.

Honestly, what a nice video. It's is nice to see a brick and mortar store that the Amazon culture hasn't totally destroyed the local economy. Boy, I would love to spend a few hours going thru his inventory looking for a old new in the box Cobra 148 GTL. I did see in a later video that shop was sold to a new owner to keep it going, but chances are the new owners may "tweak" the inventory and services offered a little bit from the previous owners business model.

[@MowerJunkie]

The new owners are great people, and are doing an awesome job running the store. the store is now called Cuz Customs. I did an updated video, Check it out here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmPUnKCYfJ14qKs

CB still very popular here in North East Georgia. not to far from Lexington, S.C.

[@chefrobinoz]

I wonder if he has a website. In Australia they do not manufacture 27 Mhz SSB radios anymore and have not done since the 1990's, we either have to import them or use 40 year old radios. We mostly use UHF CB at 477 MHz in FM mode. HF CB amplifiers are also very rare here, by the look of those amps there should be a whole lot of interested people who would like to import those amplifiers.

As a school kid, I remember hearing and reading about CB shops at the height of the 1970’s CB craze, but even back then to today I never had the CB shop experience outside of RadioShack, K-mart,The Bay , Sears, pawn shops,, all jumping on the CB fad bandwagon. I did have plans to attend a few Ham radio fests this year but all got cancelled due to COVID 19 bug. I love the shop footage and the vast selection of radios CB’s are very rare here in western Canada unless you acquire one online via Amazon, eBay ect,
