You have to love the sexiness of the Precision Series, one of the best looking family of CBs ever for me.

I think that too. Not the best performance but by no means the worst and great looking.

Yeah I did . Normally more than I'd pay for a radio , but they don't appear very often , and I was bored , so there you go :)
Yep I know how that is... I always seem to end up with more radios when I get bored .. :D At least it does look like a clean one so maybe worth the extra.. ;)

Nice looking radio . Does that have a Cybernet pcb in it ? I have the President Franklin which looks very similar , but has the Ranger pcb .

Still live in hope of finding a mint Mk3 Marko :)

They look nice but I personally would rather have one of the 3900 boarded versions like the Franklin or Galaxy Saturn

There is no such thing as a Fidelity 1000 which is too good to scrap.

That's a shame. I have had the same happen to me. Did the listing say it was mint?

No . Said good working condition , but I didn't even switch it on . I get the opinion that that's why there were no close up photos taken of it . Told the seller and he accepted the return no problem , so someone else can have a punt if they fancy .

Nice one Dave, I saw that on there and thought it was a good buy but refrained from hitting the BIN, well done though looks a cracker
