[Milsurplus] Price Corrections

[roy wildermuth]

Steve,

A clean PRC-6 in decent shape would be well worth 35.00. One could put an
additional 30.00 and have a crystal on 51.00 and construct a battery Box. I
paid $50.00 a piece for my two, but they are like new, work and are already
on 51.00. We have quite a few among the Museum staff and enjoy using them at
events.
