[Milsurplus] Japanese Boatanchors

[b. smith]

Nick mentioned  the "Japanese "Delica" boatanchors including a
Hallicrafters S-38 look-alike (which also came in kit form) and some 1960's
. . .

What a shock it was on one of my frequent trips to visit Akihabara and see
the copy of the S-38, little did I know that was just the beginning of the
slow   attack on  our electronics industry. But I did enjoy Akihabara in
those days, if you needed a resistor you went to the resistor shop, if you
needed a knob you went to a knob shop, with a shopping list from the
Handbook you could fill your A-3 bag with all the parts  in one afternoon
then back to Tachakawa and APN-9s and ART-13s and lots of ocean on the way
back to the land of milk and honey.
