They may look clunky and old, but we definitely used them in 'Nam. They 
were still in service even after that. My set "www.w2ec.com/grc109.html" 
was depot refurbished in the 1980's.

The set on ebay is a very nearly complete set. To be truly complete you 
need to add the GRA-71 Coder Burst set which is the high speed encoder 
and keyer for "secure" tranmission of coded messages. I have one of 
these although it is not shown on my webpage with my GRC-109.
