Blimey it's with it's original box and packing !
I've converted more of them than the pope.
You can take them up to 29MHz without an eprom or crystal change,
but you need a eprom or 4008 binary adder if you want the 100KHz rpt shift,
and you can switch the 10KHz reference to 5KHz, giving 5KHz steps

It's well worth putting in the missing 2nd If transformer,
and the missing noise sq cct, as fitted to the JWR M2 version.
also produced as the Lucas 1001

SWM was the first to publish mods for it in 1982

I didn't say that, but they were the easiest of all CBs to mod,
and not the worse ones made

A 2pole Xtal filter in the 10.695MHz first IF helps the RX,
and I was surprised Icom didn't sue them for copyright infringement
AFAIK they were made in Taiwan to their own design

The ambit 8KHz 10.695 2 pole Xtal filters are a bit sharp for 10FM

Something like a cheap 10M30 10.7 +-15KHz Xtal filter will do fine,
which works out as -10 +20KHz at 10.695,
or even a 50KHZ 10.7 ceramic filter if you can still get them ?

Anything's better than the 150KHz ceramic filter they use
to protect the internal 2nd mixer in the MC3357 chip

and dig out a Toko 7mm 455 IFT from a s****** radio,
for where they've left it out on the end of the CFU455 filter
in the ICOM 1050, but fitted in the JWR M2 version.
It improves 455 filtering outside the CFU ceramic filters B/W
and gives a better match to it
