[Milsurplus] VRC-19, thumbs up or down?

[Hue Miller]

I came home with a HEAVY, VRC-19 radio. ( I think that's the 
nomclat, without going to look.)  2-channel FM radio built
by Motorola, lots of submin tubes, 3 pullout units in a large
case. Pretty much uselss as well as big / heavy - not an
endearing formula.  So, is there any reason it should not
cease to exist? Even tho there won't be much to harvest off
it.
Tnx, Hue Miller
