I think the KWM-2 went for about $1,500 new? in the 60's, that would be about $15,000 in today's money, although it wouldn't be an attractive transceiver in today' world.  But, a -380 was a pretty hot radio in those days.

I'd have preferred to win the radio, but barring that, seeing the reaction of those old guys to a teenager Tech winning that KWM-380 was pretty priceless. Of course, now I am one of those old guys...
