Icom ICB1050 was £24 on 3/11/81 (the day after legalisation).
I bought one in Tottenham Court Road at Lasky's or similar.

The same day I changed the crystals to shift it to 29MHz and I still have it. It has an 8pole crystal filter and Dual Gate MOSFET mixer now and the diabolical carrier squelch is gone.
