[Milsurplus] I'd never have thunk it

[Tom Norris]

Way back when, not too many years ago folks were
nearly giving GRR-5's away*. Now look at this one --
item #5752084755 on the e-place. Grungy, no main
tuning knob, rest of knobs painted black and looks
like the radio was painted black at some point. Looking
at the freq display it is somewhere in between bands.
How much? Over $200. The lucky guy has a couple
bidders and there are 4 days to go. Reenactors?

I'll hang on to mine, the one with the canvas cover.
It's not a bad little radio, the sound of the p/s
vibrator hum is very soothing.
