If getting these 80 year old military radios up and working was cheap and easy, more people would do it.

Most of the SCR-274 and the Navy ARC-5 sets take time to gather the parts, and are going to need a lot of work undoing operator hacks and simply doing repairs due to age. Some parts are just plain hard to find 80 years after these sets were made. Heck, a working BC-611 in good shape runs around $1k now a days.
