The rarity of an item will always affect its price.  When you 
consider how many 375A's were sold you are lucky to find one even 
close to the old retail price.  Supply and demand will always sway 
the price of any item.  Just try to find a KWM-2A in working 
condition these days for anything close to what it sold for new.

While Kurt's 10% rule-of-thumb might be a bit on the low side, I 
doubt it is far from the mark on routine radios that were sold in 
large numbers.
