[ARC5] Are You Kidding?

[Robert Eleazer]

Somewhere I have a Xerox of an ad I found in a 1947 issue of QST.

A place called "Radio Shack" was offering a complete SCR-274-N set, 2 transmitters, 3 receivers, racks, modulator, dynamotors, control boxes, connectors.  Cost was $39.00......

Of course, at that time you could buy a brand new never used fully equipped P-38 for $1,500, and supposedly there were places that were selling well used P-39's and P-40's for $50 each.
