CHP Micor on Ebay

[Andy]

You will see allot of these (or similar) listed soon! People that sell used two/way are
looking at this auction and scratching their heads! remember how long it took the
escort caps to appear!

Any one auction can get out of hand when several people begin bidding against each other....I've seen it at the car auctions I used to attend regularly, as well as the Ebay venue. Heck...at some of the FL DOT auctions I was at, I saw people bid against themselves when no one else was even "in" on the bidding. Auctioneer, "$4200....do I hear $4300?", Bidder who had the car ar $4200 raises his hand and now the price is $4300, etc. Those auctions were free-for-alls anyway, but I guess people get caught up in the excitement or fun (or ego) or whatever.

If you think about the market for this stuff....it's guys like us. Either collectors of vintage radio equipment, or guys who need it for their restorations of old police cars. Either way, it's still out there, and can still be had for more reasonable prices than what that setup on Ebay is currently at.

I'm not sure who, besides Jason (litsnsirn) is bidding, but I'm telling you guys....give me a little while and I'll make sure you guys get the right stuff a heckuva lot cheaper than that.

I saw the radio on ebay but besides the radio parts someone mentioned CC1 and MPA2 amp what parts are these ????

thanks 5845

They are the Federal Signal control for the lights and siren (CC1 is the controller, MPA2 is the amplifier). Check out the CHP Restoration section (via the link on the main page) for pics of both of those.

Hey I saw this on sspmustangs.org and just had to quote it, but is this group an offshoot of this group?

To answer David's question, yes every piece is totally correct CHP equipment, some of it still has the state property tags attached. All the Mustangs through '87-'88 would have used this radio setup. To say this stuff is harder to find than hen's teeth would be an understatement.

Alot of the members here are also members there.

That setup is nice. They didn't use the speaker that is included in the auction, though.
