Maybe it was a garage sale or Uncle John’s Flea Market $5 find.

Even those are a rarity today for radio, electronic finds.

I found a 2 meter HT from the 80s @ Goodwill ~ 7 years ago. I replaced the dead battery in it, located a power source and it ended up being a packet radio. Once in a while you might see a lower end CB radio. Maybe I am just there at the wrong time!
