Midland 13-883

When I was a kid my 2nd CB was a Midland 13-883 23ch. I had it "tuned" was kicking around 15wts, I had the SWR on a base loaded, roof mount flat. I was looking around ebay and seen that someone has one for sell. If I were to buy this for around $15-20, would it be worth it. I'm thinking of having it later for when I get out on my own in a truck. I would have someone try to tune it up.

 

I never said I measured it. The technician that done the work did. No he was no fly-by-night, was an electronics engineer, designed and built, Ham operator. Like I said I was a kid around 16 yrs old, which was only 36yrs ago now.

I already have a 40ch, a Cobra 29. Sorry I asked !!!

 

I guess my question should have just been, now days with the lack of CB shops and good honest techs, would it be possible to get one "tuned" similarly today? I even spotted a Turner M+2U amplified mic like the one I had on it. It's more of a nostalgia thing for me..

 

Thank you very much for that information. I've only owned 3 CBs in my life. My first was a Johnson Messenger 123, and then the one I own now.

I may not purchase it. I'm waiting to see if the bid goes up much more. I just checked the the Turner mic is already more than I want to pay for it. Even though I really like the radio, I too will not spend much for one.

Again thank you, really appreciate your help.
