Yep, me too.  That's the CY-2562/PRC-25.  I wonder where they all went.  There should be mountains of them out there surplus.  They should be available new from http://www.tacticomusa.com/radio_portable.html, but I don't know what the price and minimum order would be.

Try S & G Photo at info at sg-photo.com

Recently I've bought the following from them:

BA-270 for PRC-6 - dead as advertised
BA-279 for PRC-8/9/10/28 - dead (1984) as advertised
BA-399 for PRT-4 - weak (1989) as advertised
BA-505 for PRR-9 - weak (1989) as advertised

I wanted these for their "shells" for homebrewing replacements.

Also, they have some NOS USN CW-49507A 600 ohm headsets and CW-49534 extension cords (equivalent to the Army CD-307 cord), for $40 a set.  [The CW-49507A with CW-49534 is a pretty nice headset to have if you want USN gear to go with your AN/ARC-5 or RU/ARA/ARB, and Army gear (HS-33, CD-307) to go with your SCR-274-N or AN/ARC-8 gear, even though the CW-49507A was not primarily intended as an aviation headset.]
