    DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM SPARKY'S!!!! Off the Web Site or by phone.....You will not get your order anytime soon, if ever.....

    There's another thread here dealing with Sparkys, and people not getting their orders, or getting things back that were sent in for repair work...

    Short story, Al had some health issues a few months ago, but left the Web Site open, and people kept placing orders, but no one has got their orders back yet.....some got refunds back, but others haven't even got that....

    Call Doug at Custom CB Radios or check out his Web Site....In most cases he can take your order today, and have it in the mail tomorrow....

    Another good shop is Bells CB Radio...only thing with Bells, is "Screwdriver" (the tech.) has allot of orders, so it may take a couple of weeks to fill yours...

    GI Joes will have the best prices, and fast shipping, and does decent P&T also...

    Just stay-away from Sparky's....Hopefully he will get his act back in order before too much longer.

    Read Sparky's Forum - I don't think sending him any money is a good idea until he responds to the others that have already sent him money. People are pretty worried about the owner.

    Sparky's is now "CLOSED".......Sign on the front door of the place that say's "Closed till further Notice", and on the Web Site, the "Check-Out" option has been removed, along with the pricing of each item they sell!

    If you sent them money....good luck trying to get a refund....

    Keep your ears open and buy a used radio, take it to your favorite tech for a check up and tune up, and pocket the $100+ you just saved by not buying a new radio. This has worked for me for years.....did buy a brand new HR2510 once though, should have kept it, but oh well.

    Try Bells CB Radio in FT. Lauderdale. This guy knows his stuff and is very reputable. He also sells on ebay with a 100% Feedback!. I drove 3 1/2 hrs to see him several weeks ago and would make the drive out there again if i had to. www.bellscb.com Tell him 16 sent ya from Daytona Beach area. He'll take care of you!
