Pony (Kanda Tsushin Kogyo Co.) was active from 1963 to today. Over the years they made toys like these to CB and marine transceivers. They branched into medical gear in the 2000s. They made this model in 1967.

I think the modern Duracells started to leak so badly after they switched to the mercury-free formulation and off-shored the production. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with it being mercury-free, but something about changing production facilities or cheapening the formulation and they fucked it all up.

Those units are definitely from the early 60s and here's why. The RayOVac batteries are a dead giveaway. The FTC banned the word "Leakproof" on all dry cell batteries as on 1/1/64 because it was considered "false and deceptive." Those units operate on CB Ch 9 which became the REACT channel for emergencies around 1970. Ch 9 was very commonly used in 100mw units in the early to mid 60s.

Good observation. A quick look at the Radio Museum dated them to 1967. It is possible there was an earlier production or the RayOVacs were from some of the last produced with that label.

When I was a kid in the 1970s we had walkie talkies that transmitted on CB channel 14(27.125mhz). They were Midland 100mw and it was fun to try and see how far we could talk on them and it surprised us how far they could go. They also had capability of adding 2 additional crystals, but I never did it. Sometimes I'd just listen and hear all sorts of stuff. Led to a later interest in shortwave radio and later becoming a ham. In spite of the fact I own a ham transceiver for HF, a 6m/2m/440mhz handheld, FRS radios, and a smart phone, this kind of technology still interests me. Thanks for making this video.

“Breaker breaker 1-4, what’s your 20, over?” Cool walkie talkies, brings back childhood memories. I had the Radio Shack Space Command kiddie walkie talkies in the ‘70s. Yep, CB channel 14, get to hear all of the truck drivers & tradespeople following FCC rules for using their CBS...NOT, lol. Fun times. Those Radio Shack talkies carried about, oh, 40 feet or so. Later on, around 1981 I had a pair of General Electric kid walkie talkies that used 49 mhz, which I believe was also used for the cordless phones of the day.

What was the range on the 49 MHz radios? I remember playing around with a pair and couldn’t get very far on those. Cordless phones, baby monitors, and other remote control toys were on 49 MHz. It would be interesting to see how the high sunspot activity would effect these very low power radios.

I later had a pair of Radio Shack Realistic TRC-85 walkie talkies, which were several levels above the $20/pair kiddie walkie talkie sets of the time(early-1980s). Came with CB channel 14 crystals, with sockets to add crystals for 2 more channels. 300 mW transmission power. One time I gave one to a friend who lived a little over 3/4 mile away to see if they would carry that distance, and sure enough we could talk to each other, just barely though, lots of static in the background.

27.065 is CB Ch 9. It was popular to include Ch 9, 11 or 14 with the unlicensed under 100mw walkie talkies back in the 1960’s. The “27” on the switch probably refers to 27 MHz. The highest CB channel at that time was 23 (27.255 MHz).

It was like having a front row seat to the action. These guys were pretty good, I’ve never heard anything going on that useful again on CB.

Back in the late 1980's you could buy these little transceivers, they were FM, probably family radio service, if that was even about back then. They were little belt clip radios with a headset, covered one ear and had a boom microphone. My brother-in-law and I got a set, then his boys saw them and they got some, then the rest of our deer hunting party saw them and they got some, we even took them to the game warden for an opinion if we could use them for hunting deer. His only restriction was that we could not use them while "Chasing" deer. Well we were all rather good shots and rarely if ever chased anything, one shot and they were gone. So it was, we used the hell out of those things till we flat out wore them out. they were great for checking location before taking a shot, thus could well have saved life or limb because of that. The more we used them the more we loved them. When they wore out, the place i used to order them from could no longer get them so that was that. We went back to using CB'S during driving to and from the hunting spots but that was the end of radio hunting.

I worked for my uncle putting up hay on his farm every summer, he paid us $5.00 a day, back in the 60's it was not great pay, but you could fill your gas tank and get some change if you had a car, which I didn't back then. So I saved up my coin and soon on a weeks wages, I managed to buy a brand new set of Midland Walkie Talkies. My best friend and I had a blast with them, but we were quite disappointed that we could not talk the 3 blocks that separated our homes. Back then we had phones, but were only allowed a quick call once in awhile so if they would have worked, it would have been super! We did have a lot of play battles and such with the little toys.

These are an outstanding example of the Pony brand. I have the previous model circa 1960. The little red triangular markers on the Broadcast dial are CONELRAD (control electronic radiation) markers. During the cold war if there was the chance of a nuclear strike, tuning to the red makers would allow you to hear emergency broadcasts. For the time, these were high quality and crystal locked to a CB channel instead of coil receive. The fact that they still work proves the quality. Please preserve them or maybe find a CB historian who can place them into a museum. Cheers from Australia.

Brings back memories of a pair of CB walkies that I had received for Christmas in the late sixties. Mine were strictly CB but with no squelch control, they could drive you crazy. Fast forward to the eighties and nineties, have my service monitor active with 1 KHz tone deviating at 4.1 MHz, boss is complaining the noise is driving him crazy, what noise? Might be a very unselective receiver but I have also seen AM stations with birdies on their output, seems no one listened to much AM in central Ohio so no one complained about seeing them on the dial in several places, not even the boys from the Fantastic Candy Company made much effort to quell the issue. Hey why don't they re farm out the AM band to aviation and leave our 2 meter stuff alone? Hearing a lot of QRM in the circles that thy wont even abandon APRS if they refarm the band, too much equipment out there running data.

Always loved walkie talkies as a kid, always trying to make them go further. Those are cool, don't come across them anymore here, probably all wrecked by kids and binned along time ago. Nothing worse than having batteries left in, thank God they weren't Duracell. .

Been a long time since I have seen some of them.

Btw, did this unit have a squelch? Without squelch, you get a rushing noise when not receiving a transmission.

Stay safe over there , them Earth quakes might get bad at times,.. hope all goes well though and nothing happens, other than that keep the videos a coming as they are all enjoyable and one can learn alot from them. now as far as dogs eating pot, that's a new one i figured they would know enough to stay away from it.

Wow those old Japanese Quality batteries!! i bet they still make power today!! lets write in to Rayovac for their ''leakproof''' claim and demand return for 80cents before calculating inflation by todays standards!

Could you measure the batteries? I wonder if they have a few mV in them?

I have 4 pieces of Varta carbon-zinc batteries from 1978 (or expired in 1978), all of them has 1.2-1.4V in them, and not leaking! Unusable though, due to very high internal resistance. If I put all 4 of them in series, they can barely make a red LED glow without any current limiting resistor. Sub-mA short circuit current. I guess they just silently dried out instead of leaking. They were in a vintage Grundig 17" portable color TV as channel memory backup.

Very lucky with those batteries, could have been a mess inside there. Oh... I just saw the "ray-o-vacs". Still, they lasted well.
