That, and I was referring to the fact that fewer and fewer of us (them?) get excited or care about old tech, or history in general.  Maybe I am just talking like my grandfather, but more and more people bypass the boat anchor tables at the hamfest , and go straight for the guy selling cheap Baofeng dual banders. Sigh.

For the small loads mentioned here, that approach is a good one, 
although I have read that battery life may be limited. Unfortunately 
for larger SLA or flooded batteries, and switchers too, the price 
increases more than proportionately ;)
 
It was actually cheaper for me to buy some of the components for the 
brute force PS than to buy batteries (and switchers).
