Some even came with 11 meters installed from the factory!
The output section was TV sweep tubes, very cheap in the day.
And since a newer model would come out every so often the hams would trade up.
Mobile mounted FT-101 all scratched up? no problem, the CBers would come up with all manner of paint jobs!
In fact, I have a few that I repainted blue, as the VW microbus paint jobs were just not me. ;)
