[Milsurplus] Dutch miltaria seller

[Bruce MacMillan]

  Some of you may remember a fellow (I think from Belgium) a number of 
years back who was selling eight 40' containers full of WW2 radio 
equipment. Much of it was for the 19 set, like 500 cases spare valves or 
500 cases spare parts #5C.
He had about 130 complete 19 sets as well as a lot of BC191, BC610, 
BC1000 & BC1306 sets & parts. Anyone know where this stuff went?

Exceptions exist, of course, the magnetron during WW2, for one example, but a warehouse of 'foreign' equipment abandoned by an absentee owner is likely to go to the highest bidder, no questions asked.  Stuff which goes to the crusher here shows up in flea markets in the Midddle East.  Etc.  My favorite example of that sort of thing is the availability of RCA AR-88s in the US vs the UK.
