[Milsurplus] Re: kicking ourselves for what we didnt buy back then

[BOEING377 at aol.com]

We all kick ourselves for not having bought NOS ARC 5s etc when they were 
dirt cheap, but what similar surplus opportunities present themselves today? Are 
there any? Aircraft instruments are going to become rare as glass cockpits 
become the norm. Are we going to kick ourselves for not having bought some of 
these when they were relatively cheap and plentiful? What about currently 
available radios? Somehow I don't see ARC 58s or ARC 102s becoming highly 
collectable, and I don't think any NOS units were sold surplus, but who knows? The cheap 
new PRT 4s and PRR 9s (squad radios) are largely ignored, but thats just what 
we did with the cheap NOS ARC 5 stuff. We thought it would always be there. 
Your thoughts on present opportunities that we will be kicking ourselves for not 
pursuing if we live another decade or two?
