There was a time not so long ago when the powers-that-be sought out that kind of scum and irradicated them from the gene pool. Back then we had no 'terrorist' problems. Our nation had a more 'liberal' stance on protection than we do now.

Hell, I meant the 70s when we were 'still' in the assasination business. My mother's family comes from behind the Iron Curtain also. Bilyarsk(sp). And that's 'Airman' to you.

Greetings, and welcome.

I'll buy it as is if you decide to sell it. I want it just as a collectors piece.
I almost bought one 10 years ago, and passed on it because it was "unfixable" from what I was told at the time.
If anyone can fix it, I'd say Rolland's your man.
I know Bill at Rita's is the guru on programming micro chips in the Carver / Sunfire receivers too.

The CT-30x was also called the CT-5.1x for a short time. Very nice looking unit for sure !!

is this it ??
