OH Radatron (Last One) Sentry Radar Detector 60's-70's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**70cst** · 02-24-2020, 07:27 PM

$65 Shipped Rare Display Box with Detector There is one on eBay for $299.00

This I think is the last of my early Radar Detector that would be period correct for the trucks made in the 60's and 70's.
If you want to add the unique accessory to your truck this is it.
I already have one which is why I am selling this one.
Its in like new condition and I have not removed this from the original display box so ... what you see is what you get.

In the early 60's, a radar detector was available commercially. This detector was the Radar Sentry, made by Radatron, Inc. out of Tonawanda, New York. It was featured on the cover of the September, 1961 issue of Popular Electronics:

According to Popular Electronics, the Sentry might not have been the first detector available, however, it was definitely the most functional and practical, and probably the first one worth noting. In the article it says that in the 5 years since the 1956 "Truth About Radar" article: "many microwave detectors have come and gone. Popular electronics has investigated each new speed-trap detector and has rejected some because they violated government regulations; others because of size, weight, or impractical construction; and one or two because they were simply 'wishful thinking'."

And now you know

I have a second one but it is at my work place in Cleveland. So until I get up there it is in my northern office.

Price will be about the same but I want to give it a once over first.

It is the Larger version and it still works.

Both styles are period correct.
