1980 NOS Factory CB Radio Microphone


Recommended Posts

That’s spendy all right! :nabble_smiley_scared:

This got me curious about the one I pulled a while back. Mine is well used but is also different. The wiring harness and mounting bracket are Ford but not sure if the actual unit or mic are. Thoughts?

It also had a different antenna that I don't see anything like it in the 1980 manual so figure that's aftermarket.

The mic looks like the one Shaun posted above.

Not having seen an actual antenna, could be anything as lots were made in the 70’s and 80’s.

The antenna is incorrect, the mic is original. Question is whether the Mic is correct for a bullnose, dentside, or passenger car. Hard to tell on the wiring harness since it isn't really visible.

It's definitely similar but the nos one has an extra button, lights in the mic, and the mic/display are swapped.

Was looking at the manual - anyone have one of the mic holders that mounts to a bucket seat? Would like to see a photo of one out of curiosity.

Good to know on the antenna.

Harness looks like:

Both ends have Burndy on them.
