GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS, ETC.

Let's start of with the Bad/Sad news: Bills2wayradio is going out of the retail business, but will still handle repair work as explained by this letter on his website. I've had the pleasure of swapping several e-mails throughout the years with Bill, and he is truly one of the straight-shooters in the business. I, and many others wish him only the best....

For the good news: The link to Eric Brauns "The Turner Microphone Story" website is once again active off the main page off the CBGAZETTE website!! Thanks Eric, I'm not sure how well you know what your information and historical data means to many of us, but believe me, it does!

UPDATE!!

Work is steadily progressing on re-opening the CB GAZETTE FOR SALE section! Right now the estimated time of it's re-opening is shortly after the first of the year.

I doubt I'll be selling any new items, as I'm more into the older stuff, but who knows, a new microphone or something might pop up from time to time. The equipment listed forsale will be tested, and left "ON" for at least 1 week to verify any quirks they may or may not have. I'll call 'em as I see 'em and price them accordingly. Prices will be fair, but on the high end of "fair" (compared to many EBAY auctions), as I'll offer a warranty (still in the worksk) but basically, if it's not what I said it was you can return it for a full refund (minus shipping charges). That's it for the 4-Sale update, but I just wanted to let ya know that I hadn't dropped my plans for it. Payment will be by M.O, Personal Check, or Paypal.

THE BUYING CONTINUES!

Here's a TRC-55 with box that went for $150
