[Milsurplus] AN/GRR-5 Brings Record (?) Price

[Todd, KA1KAQ]

Strangely, there was an example in rather scruffy shape that went for
over $300 not so long ago ($375 IIRC). I was amazed since cleaner
examples have sold for that much or less. Nothing special about it, my
guess is that like this one, someone just had to have it.
