Gul Industry Radar Detectors: Anyone know history?

[fire65]

Some how I knew Jazzy would know this, probably owns a working one. Just where did you mount such a thing? Bolt it to the bumper.

IIRC, they were making Gul detectors in the mid to late 80s. Very similair in apperance to the Bel units of the day.

and IIRC they were pretty darn good at detecting x and K-band radar.

The GUL Microscan that Jazzy posted pictures of was a passive RD and the second RD that I owned. It was a POS and not as sensitive as the RS Road Patrol XK that I owned previously. K band range was virtually non-existent.

I went and looked on Ebay for one of these fine detectors.

I found one that was for sale with no bids and one where the auction ended with no bids.

"Gul Radar Decector Model # G 110-S"




"This is a vintage GUL G110SL RADAR DETECTOR I see there are people who collect these items. I have no idea what these are worth and have had this since new. This item was just powered up for the photo. This item has NO POWER CORD (my own personal cord was used for photo) Item reads on underneath as follows: GUL INDUSTRIES CORP CALABASAS ,CA 91302 8-22694 MADE IN USA I believe this to be 20 years old."

Thanks Jazzy for the fine photos of the Gul.

That is a rebadged BEL and unlike the Microscan, this one is a superhet design. Not a bad RD in its time.
