Warranty Information

 

 

 

CB Microphone Wiring (Galaxy)

 

 

 

 

 

Galaxy radios sometimes have a small scratch or ding that the factory covers with black touch up.  We cannot effect this and do not guarantee your radio to be cosmetically perfect.  Bells CB will make no marks or scratches on your radio ourselves.  Galaxy might though and I cannot control it.
