Found a Uniden PC78LTW in my closet of old truck stuff!

I was looking through some of my old trucking stuff and found this radio new in the box! I forgot i even had it.
I think i bought it as a backup and never used it.
Also found a road king mic.....

My old Galaxy 44 still talks but the knobs are scratchy when i adjust anything,
Just wondering if that Uniden was a decent radio and worth having a tune up and maybe an echo board put in.
I may still carry both of them but i got a feeling the old Galaxy is nearing the end of its life.
Was also looking at Sparkys CB shop at a new Connex 4300 but that gets expensive.

 

Thanks guys!
I took the Uniden and hooked it up in the pickup truck. Still works but the mic has a bad connection.That must be why i was not using that mic.
Hooked my Astatic mic up and it talks fine.

Put it in the wifes car and had her ride around while i talked on the Galaxy.Then we switched places so i could hear how they both sound.

The old Galaxy stills blows smoke! I was probably 4 or 5 miles from home and could hear her on the Galaxy plain as day.She could hear me on the Uniden too but said it was not very strong sounding.

I wonder if that electronics spray cleaner will take care of the scratchy knobs on the Galaxy?
