Well, first- there were far less of the type-12
systems built, so bits and pieces are scarce.
You're right about the control boxes being difficult.

Secondly, when they did show-up at someone's estate
sale or at a hamfest, there was (and still is) little
interest in VHF AM.  Only "we few, we happy few"
who value their form and/or history would take them.
The majority are now beer cans or mouldering in the dump.
"Such is the way of all things
to which Man hath turned his hand."
For dust they are, and unto dust...
