The scanner ended up in my police car replica. The police car used the CB-145 which is pictured below the CB-166.

Here is a continuity error from the film:



Now there are two things going on here. You can see where the alternate mounting of the CB/scanner is in this car, and that the passengers T-Top is in place, while the drivers side is not.

When this film was produced, it was never thought to do anywhere as well as it did, and therefore, all of the scrutiny by enthusiasts like myself was never expected. Attention to detail was lacking with all of the continuity errors.

Also see the alternate mounting here:

I only bought one 276 antenna. The other antenna I modified I had laying around. You will still need the chrome base part under the grey coil. The small chrome barrel spring should be an easy find.

The barrel spring indeed has two female ends, and I believe they are 1/4". I did the install over 3 years ago, but I will look at the stuff again to refresh my memory.

Interesting topic as I follow old, NOS Antenna Specialists antennas since my SSJ with the telephone option used an AS M-125.

Despite the price, is this M-176 more in line with a no-hole mount on the T/A?
