See, I missed that part. I thought it was merely a question of
possible value. (o: I bet Ron will want to keep the set once he plays
with it a bit. The coolness factor is high from a minimalist
perspective.

That AWA set is pretty cool too, never saw the complete set up before.
It's almost like the father or big brother to the RS-1/GRC-109. More
to it since it wasn't intended to be packed around from place to place
on a daily basis. It includes a speaker, mic, and modulator as well. I
bet it would be fun to play with a complete station in good repair.

Looks nothing like the one used by Cary Grant as a coast watcher in
"Father Goose", though.
