I did it again! Jumped in on a buy it now President Dwight D. CB Radio on ebay!

Photo’s looked like a President Madison with an 858 PLL and I did not think to confirm it was SSB on those 40 + Channels!

Although it does have extras, not sure why on an AM CB?

So… what to do with it?

Any Suggestions? My options as I see them:-

Leave AS IS – standard 40Ch AM & FM (modified in it) – 

Maybe fit Frequency Counter Display & 240VAC PC P/S replacing 110VAC US P/S

Or rip the guts out of it like others I have done and…

• Build in 240VAC Mini PC Power Supply for 12V DC &
• FREQUENCY Counter in Place of CLOCK (Mech)
• Insert Mobile SSB HF CB Radio I have spare – PC122 / Ferris 5000/ SBE 587 / 
• Insert Mobile FM UHF CB Radio – Sawtron 880 /other
• Rewire Mobiles to front panel knobs & Twin Meters

What would you do??
