[Milsurplus] AN/GRR-5

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

If he really has a complete AN/GRR-5, it's a good price.  The canvas cover, 
dry-battery carrying bag and shock mount are virtually unobtanium, and the rest 
of the components although available if you look around do add up.  But most 
likely he has only the R-174, PP-308 and CY-615, and maybe one of the three 
power cables.  It's like all of the thousands of people who have an "ART-13" or 
"ARC-5".

Rant mode off.  No offense intended, Lloyd.  If he really does have the shock 
mount, I know a guy who wants to put one in an M38A1.  And I'm not getting 
rid of mine (which is complete, BTW).
