Here’s a Pearce-Simpson Bearcat 23. This full-featured AM base station was popular in the mid-1970s. Note the unique 3-meter design and slide volume/squelch/SWR-CAL controls. Also featured a digital clock with alarm and separate lights for “on the air” (transmit) and modulation. There are 3 distinct versions of this radio: only the first version has slide pots. The ‘B’ version has regular knobs instead of the sliders. The ‘C’ version has only 2 meters. Also, the ‘A’ version has a black plastic face while the ‘B’ and ‘C’ use fake woodgrain. Pearce-Simpson CB radios were manufactured by the Gladding Corporation of Miami, Florida.
