CB is not all I am interested in, but I don't know how much I will/would align ham equipment and tend to be more interested in working on my old CBs in this way.   Also, I am under the impression that the the BK 1040/2040 set is probably a good gateway to aligning radios and getting familiar with the process.  I am under the impression that it is set up almost like an "alignment for dummies" book would be.  I have a BK 20mhz scope and 9 digit frequ counter.  I also have a Fluke DMM, analog meter, dummy load, power/SWR/tuner, and other equipment on my bench already so along with my electronics foundation from years ago, I am hopeful.

As for buying the BK set, the auction option is the only way I can find one and I don't do PayPal since I won't give up my bank routing #.  All the auctions say "selling for parts/as is" so they have no liability and since they are all like that, it sounds like my only option is to risk take a big change on buying a non-repairable set of junk.  That would be really hard to handle.

Buddy, I have been watching your videos and reading quite a few of your posts.  You are a good tech sir.  I started out in electronics but moved to a different field years ago.  I still love radio and love to tinker on my bench.  I have been thinking of getting the 2040/1040 set to align my radios and then friends radios once I have proven myself.

Two questions:  1, what if any are the things to watch out for when buying the 2040/1040 on an auction site?  I know they will likely need some work and an alignment.  2, Any chance you will do a video demonstration the alignment procedure of a CB radio?

Cheers
