[ARC5] stuff for sale

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

A *lot* of stuff was left behind in Oz after the war from Command sets to
Merlin engines, Dave. Back around 2001-2002 with the help of Brian Clarke
and a friend from Brisbane I obtained roughly 75 kg of items like racks,
shockmounts, controls, cables, etc from the Bill Babb (Baab?) collection.
Brian can fill in the additional info, but IIRC, Bill purchased tons
(literally) of radio, radar, and whatever else surplus after the war. Stuff
the US didn't want to bring back, also some that was apparently used by the
Australian forces as there are little round refurb tags affixed to several
items. Brian painstakingly listed each item with tag and other info.
Managed to find a lot of good bits, many of which I've still never seen
available here. And that was only one guy's stuff. I'd bet there are a lot
of goodies down under that many here would drool over.

I was single then so it didn't seem crazy. Shipping wasn't cheap, but
better than today of course.
