[ARC5] Interesting find.

[Bob Macklin]

But go back to the 50's and look at what was commercially available and 
within the reach of the average ham.

And then the WWII military stuff was available cheap. Many hams got started 
with what was considered junk in the 50's

A lot of was just given away through MARS! You could give it away or even 
trade it but you could not sell it.

In my case I even stripped AM BC/SW console radios for parts. No body wanted 
them.
